One Dance

I'd like to tell you a story about

What one dance can do

One dance can do

A listen now

After one dance on the floor

She came back, wanting for more, for more

Now I don't know what it is that I've got

What she whispered, it was so nice, so nice

But her man is sitting across the way

And he could hear the things I say

Now he watches from the corner of his eyes

So a move like this would be so unwise

Ooh, ooh, he's standing in my way, yeah

Standing in my way, yeah

You could see she was more than ready

To make the move with me anytime

Not even thinking of the consequences, oh, no, no

So I had to think quickly

'Cause her man, his face was looking, oh, so mean

As if anytime, he could create a scene

So, gently I pushed her away

Ooh, ooh, he wants to spoil the play

He's standing in my way, yeah

He's standing in my way

Now, I understand how he feels

But I wish he'd give me a little room

I know he's got himself a raw deal

But I'd like to leave with this lady soon

I didn't mean to be so unkind

But I had more than two and one was looking fine

Big spender he was, had to have his own way

Thought he'd leave, but he stayed

Ooh, ooh, still standing in my way

Standing in my way, yeah

Standing in my way, hey

Ooh, ooh, standing in my way

Standing, standing in my way, hey

That's what one dance can do (Standing in my way)

One dance can do (Standing in my way, hey)

Still standing in my way
