One Dance Lyrics - Singles - Bern Dan

Because I love you 

I get tongue tied around you 

I never say smart stuff around you 

I never say anything around you 

That makes you want to be with me 

So, because I love you 

I will never be with you 

There's plenty other people 

Who I always find the words for 

That I have the sweet gift of gab for 

That I'm magical and good for 

Who because I do not love them 

Always want to be with me 

Everything I say is true 

So there's nothing we can do 

Then what the hell I'll say to you 

Let me have one dance with you 

I recognize the look 

In my eyes when I see you 

It's the look of one who loves you 

Who wants nothing except to be with you 

It is not the look that often 

Gets returned in kind 

Same old tales ain't nothing new 

What the hell's a soul to do 

But maybe you can help me through 

Giving me one dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you.. 

Why do all the rules I make 

'bout how to act around other people 

Like don't write them private notes 

Trying to explain your foolish actions 

Like not hanging around 

For hours after it's obvious 

That your presence ain't desired 

Like names are not important 

So if someone forgets your name 

They're forgetting something intangible 

That has nothing to do with you 

So it's stupid to feel bad 

If someone forgets your name 

Why do all the rules I make 

'bout how to act around other people 

Always fall by the wayside 

When I get around you 

There ain't no more carrot stew 

That old sky ain't never blue 

That's a lie but this is true 

All I want's one dance with you 

My bed's unmade. My stuff's askew 

I ain't heard the dumbest clue 

I just want to squeeze on through 

By getting one more dance with you 

Stick it while there's still some glue 

Move that stuff while there's a crew 

Before I stumble someplace new 

Let me have one dance with you 

Let me have one dance with you 

Let me have one dance with you.. 

Woody Guthrie carves a sign into his guitar 

"This machine kills fascists" 

Ani Difranco says "Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right" 

I say "Here's a monkey wrench. Bop me on the head long enough , maybe 

I'll wake up for a second" 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

Dance with you....dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you 

One dance with you
