Lyrics

Hm-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah
On a warm summer evening, I'm dancing to the radio alone
Don't need no conversation, just want a new love to call on my own
I throw the window open (ooh-ooh)
I let the breeze take me away, ah, yeah
See I gotta lose this ol' heartache (ooh-ooh)
Before the sun comes 'round back to stay
Now, I've been doing my best to forget you
But I can't do it on my own, no
I need to dance with a stranger
And hold him in my arms
Close my eyes, make him believe it's you
I need to dance with a stranger
And take my hurt away, yeah, before I'm over you
Hear the city humming (ooh-ooh)
I grab my shoes and I go walk downtown
I won't need no invitation (ooh-ooh)
Just to hear the sweet, sweet sound
I don't want no man to ask me, "Oh girl, where you been all my lonely, lonely, lonely life?" (ooh-ooh)
Just wanna move girl, real, real slow
And have somebody hold me just real, real, real, real tight
Now, I've been doing my best to forget you
But I can't do it on my own, no
I need to dance with a stranger
And hold him in my arms
And close my eyes, make him believe it's you
I need to dance with a stranger
And take my hurt away, yeah, before I'm over you
I need to dance with a stranger
And hold him in my arms
Close my eyes, make him believe it's you
I need to dance with a stranger
To take my hurt away, yeah, before I'm over you
I hear the heart is a lonely hunter
And I believe it to be true
But this heart is learning to forget I ever fell in love with you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I need to dance with a stranger
And hold him in my arms
Close my eyes, make him believe it's you
I need to dance with a stranger
To take my hurt away, yeah, before I'm over you, I'm over you (ooh)
(I need) I need to dance, baby, dance for me, baby
Won't you please just hold me?
I need to dance with a stranger
And hold him in my arms
Close my eyes, make him believe it's you
I need to dance with a stranger
To take my hurt away, yeah, before I'm over you, baby (ooh)
(I need to dance with a stranger) oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
I need so bad to be with you, baby
(I need to dance with a stranger) oh-oh, love
Please give me love, more love
(I need to dance with a stranger) I need, I need you to dance with me all night long, oh-ah, ooh
