lyrics

I think you should dance

But if you don’t dance then maybe that’s your body saying “open up your mouth and sing”
And if you don’t sing then maybe that’s your mind saying “shut your mouth and think for a while”
But if you ain’t got the time then pay me no mind, just loosen up your hips and move to the side
And go step, slide, step, slide, get out your mind and move until it feels right

There’s no one else here that I know
I really shouldn’t care
But I’m fucked up and paranoid, and losing my bearings
And I think, no I swear, they’re all starting to stare

So I put on my shady shades to stay the stray shades of gray away from my face
And I step aside, avert my eyes, let it ride and turn up the music til I feel alright
Until I feel alright

Well I like to dance, I do it with my hands at my side cuz it just feels right to me
But if you like to dance with your hands in the sky I think you oughtta throw em up between sips of your drink
Because not enough to drink gives me too much to think, and too much to think gets my head sore
So I set up shop on the dance floor, pop a top and drink til I can’t think no more no

As it starts to get out of control
Feels like I’m losing it
This music’s too slow, and this dance floor is cold
And this party’s getting old so I guess I’ll be going now

I put on my flippy flops and split the spot, hit the hot blacktop coppin a walk
And I slow my roll to a steady stroll, let it go and turn up the music as I go let’s go
Oh let’s go

I think you should dance
Because I like to dance
I really think you should..

Step, slide, left, right, left, right
Hands in the sky, we can dance all night
Step outside, take a break, back inside
Feeling funky, fresh, and fly, we can dance all night now

I think you should dance!
