Dances When

Open up the floor
There's a venom on the breath of every beat
'cause she only dances when she feels the dirt get in between her feet

Take her through the door
To the alleyway where hustlers compete
'cause she only dances when the one she's with could take over the street

Now watch her go

Chorus:
Shoulder on the back of her frame
That's what you love
Try not to react as she reaches for it
It's harder to explain why you'd hurt the one you love
Easy on yourself, but you can't ignore it

Stifled by the heat
You react by leaving flowers on the street
'cause she only dances when the asking is a price you couldn't beat

So open up the floor
As the band sets up to take another break
'cause she only dances when there's something in the cabinet to take

Now watch her go

Chorus

Stubborn like a mule or a fast republican
Still she's worth the time of your every minute
Think you're in the lead, til she rubs up next to him
Takes you up to speed that you'll never win it

Better be sure. (x4)
