Dance With Me

(album: The Original Modern Lovers - 1981)

Hi dear, I'm just here from outside
I've been out all alone in the cold night
And in the shopping centre at midnight
I've been out all by myself in the moonlight
So I am cold, but I can dance
I say, dance with me

Well, hi, I just come back from Europe
I learned a lot, I used to dance in all the cities
Well, you're all alone in the dorm
I'm excited and you're safe and warm
So you're warm, I'm cold
But I say, dance with me

And when you dance with me
Look at me and smile
When you look at me
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'
And dance with me

Because now dear, don't you love the city?
Don't you love the idea of city romance?
You're my modern, suburban pretty
I say, dance with me

Hi dear, I'm here from outside just like the [?]
I've been shopping around outside at midnight moonlight
Your life must be dull in the dorm here
I'm excited and you're just safe and warm
You're warm, I'm cold
I say, dance with me, alright
