Tabbed by:PJVillanueva

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't want to kiss or hold your hand

If its funny try and understand

There is really nothing else I'd rather do

'cause I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight

I just want to dance with you all night

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

'cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you

Is everything I need

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place

Let's pretend we just can't see his face

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

'cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you

Is everything I need

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place

Let's pretend we just can't see his face

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

I discovered I'm in love with you

'cause I'm happy just to dance with you
