We block the (Asus2)noise with the sound of “I need you.” And for the first time I had some thin’ to lose.

But I don’t want to dance if I’m not danc ing with you.
To night I’m gon na dance like you were in this room.
But I don’t want to dance if I’m not danc ing with (B)you.

To night I’m gon na dance for all that we’ve been through.
But I don’t want to dance if I’m not danc ing with you.
