Everybody says I look seventeen
I have the skin, the skinniest mood
Come on, baby, won't you come dance with me?
You may think that I'm not fun
You may think I got it fine
You may know that I want you to be with me
Come on, darlin', won't you come dance with me?
Come on, baby, won't you come and dance with me?
Oh, you know baby? I don't sleep
"Love you baby" don't mean nothin' to you
'Cause I bleed, oh I bleed for you darlin'
Come on, baby, won't you dance with me?
Come on, baby, won't you come and dance with me?
You know baby I ain't so tough
I'll give you, I'll give you it all
Say babe what you want
You ain't goin' away
Come on, darlin', won't you come dance with me?
Come on, baby, won't you come and dance with me?
Come on, baby, won't you come and dance with me?
Come on, baby, won't you come and dance with me?
