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
