Why can I still see
Out on the floor
You shimmy and shake it
And we head for the door
Then we take a ride naked
There was no need to fake it
Moving like a mountain
(Moving like a mountain)
You're my little wild one
(You're my little wild one)
Coming like a fountain
(Coming like a fountain)
What happened to that big fun
(What happened to that big fun)
Shake it
Oh there she goes drifting across the floor
Don't you shimmy, don't you shake
Don't you
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
What happened to the wide eyed girl
Who wanted a piece of my soul
Remember that Friday
I saw you with that sinner
He stood up and held out his hand
Just like a winner
I said if you take my hand to shake it
I'll take your face and break it
I think I saw you crying
(I think I saw you crying)
You walked out with that big gun
(You walked out with that big gun)
Nights when I'm not lying
(Nights when I'm not lying)
I miss my little wild one
(I miss my little wild one)
Oh baby I remember how you'd
Shiver to my touch
Don't you shake
Don't you shimmy, baby
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Oh step back in time
And see that scene again
Let's dance again
Baby
Oh baby
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why
Don't You
Dance
Don't you dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why
Don't You
Dance
Moving like a mountain
(Moving like a mountain)
You're my little wild one
(You're my little wild one)
Coming like a fountain
(Coming like a fountain)
What happened to that big fun
(What happened to that big fun)
Shake it
Oh there she goes drifting across the floor
Don't you shimmy, don't you shake
Don't you
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why don't you shake baby you
Why don't you baby
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
Why Don't You Dance
