           F#m
They say, “Oh, my god,
                    D
I see the way you shine.
           E
Take your hand, my dear,
                       C#m
And place them both in mine.
             F#m
You know you stopped me dead
                    D
When I was passing by
           E
And now I beg to see
                    C#m
You dance just one more time.”

          F#m
   Ooh, I see you, see you,
                   D
   Seen you every time,
              E
   And oh, my I, I, I,
               C#m
   I like your style.
            F#m
   You, you make me, make me,
                   D
   Make me wanna cry,
              E
   And now I beg to see you
                       C#m
   Dance just one more time.

Chorus:
     So they say,
     F#m
     Dance for me, dance for me,
                           D
     Dance for me, oh-oh, oh.
                 E
     I’ve never seen anybody
                            C#m
     Do the things you do before.
     C#m
     They say,
     F#m
     Move for me, move for me,

     Move for me, ay-ay, ay.
                      E
     And when you’re done,
                              C#m
     I’ll make you do it all again.

         F#m
I said, “Oh, my god,
                   D
I see you walking by,
         E
Take my hands, my dear,
                  C#m
And look me in my eyes.
            F#m
Just like a monkey
                            D
I’ve been dancing my whole life,
              E
But you just beg to see me
                    C#m
Dance just one more time.”

          F#m
   Ooh, I see you, see you,
                   D
   Seen you every time,
              E
   And oh, my I, I, I,
               C#m
   I like your style.
            F#m
   You, you make me, make me,
                   D
   Make me wanna cry,
