I JUST WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
Written by John Prine & Roger Cook
As recorded on John Prine's album “German Afternoons” (1986)1. I don't want to be the kind to hesitate,
Be too shy, wait too late.
I don't care what they say other lovers do.
I just want to dance with you.
I got a feeling that you have a heart like mine,
So let it show; let it shine.
Oh, if we have a chance to make one heart of two,
Then I just want to dance with you.
CHORUS: I want to dance with you,
Twirl you all around the floor.
That's what they invented dancing for.
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you,
Hold you in my arms once more.
That's what they invented dancing for.
I just want to dance with you.
2. I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you.
Yes, I did; ain't that true?
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do.
I just want to dance with you.
Oh, the boys are playing softly and the girls are too.
So am I, and so are you.
If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue.
I just want to dance with you. CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK; CHORUS
I just want to dance with you.
I just want to dance with you.
I just want to dance with you.
