|
Well, my manager kept tellin' me |
|
If I wanna be great |
|
I'd better wise up |
|
And play my songs straight |
|
I said, "Hey fool, |
|
In order to survive |
|
I gotta be my dirty self |
|
I won't play no jive!" |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
He told me he'd quit |
|
I said, "Don't jump to conclusions! |
|
Maybe bein' staight ain't the right solution. |
|
I'm not Bob Dylan, |
|
But I never miss a beat. |
|
I ain't no philosopher. |
|
I dance in the street" |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
Well, I came to dance |
|
Yes, I came to dance |
|
It's a rhythm romance |
|
I'm havin' with my shoes |
|
I've got nothin' to lose |
|
(Whispered: I came to dance) |
|
(guitar solo) |
|
[Repeat CHORUS] |
|
Woo! |
|
(Whispered by backup singers) |
|
I came to dance |
|
I came to dance |
|
I came to dance |
|
I came to dance |
|
I took the matter up |
|
With a few million friends of mine |
|
The supreme court of rock and roll |
|
Is doing just fine |
|
Demanding a speech |
|
They poured me a drink |
|
I play guitar all night and day |
|
Just don't ask me to think |
|
I came to dance (I came to dance) |
|
Oh, it's a rhythm romance (I came to dance) |
|
I came to dance |
|
Oh, I've got a story |
|
(Repeat Verse 1 - Spoken, not sung) |
|
(replace "play my songs straight" with "sing my songs straight" |
|
I came to dance |
|
Yeah, I came to dance |
|
[Repeat CHORUS w/ slight variations to fade] |
