I love to watch a woman dance

She bows her head and lifts her hands

Her hips begin to circle slowly

Her eyes have closed; her face is holy

She holds the whole world in trance

I love to watch a woman dance

Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance


She likes the slow songs of love lost

They take her a million miles away

'Cause to dream, sometimes, is the only way

To go places you can't get to any other way

Our eyes connect; she takes my hand

I love to watch a woman dance

Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance


I feel my heart beating, and I wonder

Will it ever satisfy my longing?

I'm gonna hold on to you for as long as I can

For who knows, this dance may be our only dance


So we danced together, close and slow

So slow we're almost standing still

Her warm breath against my neck

Slowly breaking down my will

The room spins so I can barely stand

The song ends; then, she lets go of my hand

There's so much I don't understand

But I love to watch a woman dance

Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance
