Doechii’s song is about the mix of wanting to be alone and needing connection. The lyrics show someone dancing alone, caught between the freedom of being by themselves and the pull to have someone dance with them. They reflect on past relationships, realizing that not everyone can follow them on the...
[Intro]
Better off, here alone
Better off, here alone
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
[Verse]
Bare-feet in the parking lot
Dancing with the car light on
Gas tank running on and on
(Are you hurt? Are you hurt? Won't you dance for me?)
Farewell to the sunny days
Sache through the cloudy days
Dancing through the summer haze
Won't you dance? (Are you hurt? Won't you dance for me?)
May I have— (Won't you dance with me?)
May I have— (Won't you dance with me?)
(Won't you dance with me?)
(May I have this dance?)
(Won't you dance with me?)
(I love you yes, I love you not)
(I love you yes, I love you not)
(Won't you dance with me?)
(I love you yes, I love you not)
(I love you yes, I love you not)
(Won't you dance with me?)
(I love you yes, I love you not)
(I love you yes, I love you not)
(Won't you dance with me?)
(I love you yes, I love you not)
(I love you yes, I love you not)
(Won't you dance with me?)
[Bridge: Mike Thornwell & Doechii]
I'll let you touch but
I could be dead on her place
I could be on my pockets and my shoulder
All day, the neighbors gon' watch me do, do
(Won't you dance for me?)
[Outro]
You gotta understand, the path that you going on, everybody can't go
And you can't take everybody where you going
You remember I used to talk to you about the story about Abraham and Lot
And how he wanted to take Lot with him?
Everybody can't go where you going

That is one of the most special meaningful studio sessions I have ever had in my life when I made that song. It’s not like the best most special song but it’s like, I was really having a a dance, a waltz with God, like I just felt so connected in these sounds and it just felt like me and like sound...
