Dance with me, now darlin', make me late
I've been hangin' 'round this barroom and I can wait
I can wait, now darlin', don't you know?
Dance with me, now darlin', sweet and slow
I've been here in the corner, playin' it cool
But I could hang off your shoulder like a fool
Like a fool, now darlin', all night long
Dance with me, now darlin', to this song
Take me home in a big car, drive it slow
And if we turned off the highway, who would know
Who would know in the morning's yellow light
Where these two lost lovers were last night
Dance with me, now darlin', make me late
I've been hangin' 'round this barroom, and I can wait
I can wait, now darlin', don't you know?
Dance with me, now darlin', sweet and slow
Dance with me, now darlin', sweet and slow
