When I Dance Lyrics

Jonathan Richman When I Dance

Things were slow, a little slow
And I was at the kind of party
Where I said I wouldn't go
But in the mood, I stay
And then I didn't blush at all
At the scene I made.

Well, they're [Gm] all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
And they're all in my [Fm] trance
When I dance.

I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
In fact I barely move at all
Compared to certain guys you know
But if you look and see
You'll see they won't watch them
The same way they watch me

And they're all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
And they're all in my trance
When I dance.

Well, when I dance that's passion
And when I dance that's love
And there's times I cause that attraction
Well then I don't try to start
I just don't try to stop
And I don't blush cause I like it like that

Things were slow, a little slow
And when they put on a record I didn't want to know
But soon I stood against my will
I heard an old time song and I could not sit still

And they're all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
And they're all in my trance
When I dance.
