DAN BERN "ONE DANCE" Lyrics

Dan Bern One Dance Lyrics:

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 tale 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
Dance with you
One dance with you
One dance with you

One dance with you
One dance with you
One dance, one dance with you
One dance with you
One dance with you
