One Dance

I'd like to tell you a story about
What one dance can do (what one dance can do)
One dance can do (one dance can do)
A listen up

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 ina my way
Standing ina my way, hey

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 ina my way, hey
He's standing ina my way, whoa

Now I understand how he feels
But I wish he'd give me a little room (just a little room)
I know he's got himself a raw deal, oh, ooh
But I'd like to leave with this lady soon
I didn't mean to be so unkind
But I had more than two but one was looking fine
Big spender he was, had to have his own way
Thought he'd leave, but he stayed, oh, ooh

Still standing in my way
Standing in my way
Standing in my way, hey
Standing in my way (standing)
Standing in my way

That's what one dance can do
Standing in my way
One dance can do
Standing in my way
Still standing in my way
