Shimmy (Dance With Your Girl)

I'm tapping the beat
No, I can't help these feet
Searching the crowd for someone to join with me
Then I see her in the corner
Bopping her head to the drummer
And I start to fall hard
Yeah, hook line and sinker
Then I notice your arm lightly draped around her
Seems like she's chained to the table
Man, I feel I oughta say
That ain't right, Jack
No, you're keeping her back and
Boy, I can see she just wanna

I will dance with your girl if you ain't gonna
When she shimmies your way
Your face says you don't wanna
The band's more than alright
And the groove is tight, so
I will take her hand, pull her in
Make her smile, make her spin as you sit idly by
Cause oh, what a damn shame when she moves so fine
No, I ain't got no shame
I will dance with your girl tonight

Whoa, whoa-oh
I will dance, I will dance with your girl tonight
Whoa, whoa-oh
I will dance, I will dance with your girl tonight

Boy, you best get your ass up out that seat
You don't want to be left behind as she picks up the beat
Cause if hips don't lie, she's bored with your wallflower sighs
When she's trying to give you those bedroom eyes
Now she sways her body, it's as sweet as candy
And I barely notice the room around me
As she takes front and center
All eyes are on her
So boy, tell me you know better

I will dance with your girl if you ain't gonna
When she shimmies your way
Your face says you don't wanna
The band's more than alright
And the groove is tight, so
I will take her hand, pull her in
Make her smile, make her spin as you sit idly by
Cause oh, what a damn shame when she moves so fine
No, I ain't got no shame
I will dance with your girl tonight

Whoa, whoa-oh
I will dance, I will dance with your girl tonight
Whoa, whoa-oh
I will dance, I will dance with your girl tonight

She backs up the caboose, lets her hair loose
Puts on her dancing shoes
Your weak excuse, it don't amuse
It just gives her the blues
No, you ain't gotta groove like Kevin Bacon in Footloose
Just know she won't wait around if you don't cut lose
She'll turn her back on you, boy get a clue
If not you'll know the meaning of you snooze you lose
Now she's looking for a partner
And there's plenty of us out here
And I know that she will choose someone new
So I will throw in my hat, what you think about that?

I will dance with your girl
I will dance with your girl
I will dance with your girl
I will dance with your girl

I danced with your girl cause you weren't gonna
She shimmied my way and I said I never wanna
Leave you high and dry
When you want to go steppin' all night, so
Cut some rug, burn the floor
I'll keep up, ask for more and stay by your side
Cause lady I seen you move so fine
And you know these desires your boyfriend won't satisfy
And what a damn shame he couldn't muster some fight
Cause something tells me
You're taking me home tonight
And ain't that the truth, boy
I left with your girl that night
