Dance With Me (Live)

[Intro, spoken]
Now, as he said, we're from Boston
And we'd like to describe a bleak winter night in Boston
And the college scene in Boston
Now, the college guy is outside the dorm
And the girl he knows is inside wasting her time
And he thinks he could bring her out of it
He thinks, now- (Listenin' to Santana records)
Yeah, she's listening to Santana records, and generally wasting her time
Now-now, so-so our hero thinks:
"Now, if I could convince her to dance with mе, in her dorm
Then she'd see how bеautiful she really was
And she wouldn't waste her time anymore"
And so The Modern Lovers would like to submit "Dance With Me"
Which starts as follows:
Now, it's a cold winter night in Boston

[Verse 1]
Well, hi, dear, I'm just here from outside
I've been out all alone in the cold night
And in the shopping center at midnight
I've been out all alone in the moonlight
So I am cold, but I can dance
And I say dance with me

[Verse 2]
Well, hi, now, I'm just back from Europe
I learned a lot, I used to dance in the big dances in the cities
Well, you're all alone in the dorm, here
I'm excited and you're safe and warm
You're warm, I am cold
And I say dance with me

[Laughing]
Alright

[Verse 3]
And if you dance with me
Right, look at me and smile
If you look at me
Well, then, I hope you'll smile
Because your face is pure sex when you smile
It's written in huge, suburban letters
Which say "tenderness," which say "sex"
I say dance with me

[Verse 4]
Now, listen, when I came over here
I just shaved my face with a shaver
And I just did it to try and make myself handsome
Your life must be dull in the dorm, here
I'm excited, and-and you're safe and warm
So you're warm, I am cold
I say dance with me

[Break, spoken]
Alright, time for the middle part now

[Verse 5]
Well, now, dear, don't you love the city?
Don't you love the idea of city romance, oh!
You're my modern, suburban pretty
I say dance with me

[Verse 6]
Alright, well, hi, now, the college dorm
I'm just here from outside
I've been out all alone in the cold night
And in the shopping center at midnight
I've been out all alone in the cold of the moonlight
So here I am cold, but I can dance
And I say dance with me

[Outro, spoken]
Thank you
