Oh she move like the Diva do 
I said "I`d love to dance like you." 
She said "just take off my red shoes 
Put them on and your dream`ll come true 
With no words, with no song 
You can dance the dream with your body on 
And this curve, is your smile 
And this cross, is your heart 
And this line, is your path

Oh it`s gonna be the way you always thought it would be 
But it`s gonna be no illusion 
Oh it`s gonna be the way you always dreamt about it 
But it`s gonna be really happening to ya 
Really happening to ya 
Really happening to ya"

Oh the minute I put them on 
I knew I had done something wrong 
All her gifts for the dance had gone 
It`s the red shoes, they can`t stop dancing, dancing 
And this curve, is your smile 
And this cross, is your heart 
And this line, is your path

"Oh it`s gonna be the way you always thought it would be 
But it`s gonna be no illusion 
Oh it`s gonna be the way you always dreamt about it 
But it`s gonna be really happening to ya"

She gotta dance, she gotta dance 
And she can`t stop `till them shoes come off 
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo 
They`re gonna make her dance `till her legs fall off

Feel your hair come tumbling down 
Feel your feet start kissing the ground 
Feel your arms are opening out 
And see your eyes are lifted to God 
With no words, with no song 
I`m gonna dance the dream 
And make the dream come true 
I`m gonna dance the dream 
And make the dream come true

She gotta dance, she gotta dance 
And she can`t stop `till them shoes come off 
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo 
They`re gonna make her dance `till her legs fall off 
Call a doctor, call a priest 
They`re gonna whip her up like a helicopter

Really happening to ya 
Really happening to ya

You gotta dance....
