[Verse 1]
Hey, there's a woman next door out on a porch
With a boombox blastin' at full force
And she dances real slow in her woolly socks
And slides on her wooden floor through the dust, cryin'
[Chorus]
"When I'm dancin', this is how I dance
Let the music move me this way and that
You have a dance, I can appreciate that
But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance"
[Verse 2]
Now, there's a bar downtown where they play the blues
On a tiny stage in a corner booth
Where I can close my eyes and feel the groove
And you can dance even if you don't move, ahhh
[Chorus]
When I'm dancin', this is how I dance
Let the music move me this way and that
You have a dance, I can appreciate that
But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance
[Verse 3]
Oh, now, I've got a friend who can't play a single note
But the music gets down right into his soul
He can hear it play no matter where he goes
Yeah, you'd hear it too if you'd just listen now, ahhh
[Chorus]
When I'm dancin', this is how I dance
Let the music move me this way and that
You have a dance, I can appreciate that
But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance
[Verse 4]
Oh, when I'm alone, now, and that's alright
I've done what I've done and it feels just fine
I can dance these memories all in my mind
And I can take a turn in my own time, and I say
[Chorus]
When I'm dancin', this is how I dance
Let the music move me this way and that
You have a dance, I can appreciate that
But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance, yeah
When I'm dancin', this is how I dance
Let the music move me this way and that
Well, you have a dance, I can appreciate that
But when I'm dancin' this is how I dance
