Lyrics
Dancing In The Street
S. Domer c1979
Back when I was younger all the ladies caught my eye
I'd take them to movies, to the beach, or for a ride
I sowed my wild oats, and had laugh or two, ha
And when the thrill was over, I found somebody new
But then you came and you claimed
You'd make my life complete
With your smooth style, your sweet smile
You know you never missed a beat
You had me dancing in the street
Every time I called you would play so hard to get
The things that don't come easy almost always are the best
And when we kissed your lips tasted so sweet
I felt like celebrating I was dancing in the street
But then you came and you claimed
You'd make my life complete
With your smooth style, your sweet smile
You know you never missed a beat
You had me dancing in the street
Just like an old time movie I was dancing in the street
A Broadway choreography
The neighbors stare when I go dancing in the street
But I don't care what people think
So just watch me move my feet
Back when I was younger all the ladies caught my eye
I'd take them to movies, to the beach, or for a ride
I sowed my wild oats, I had laugh or two, ha
And when the thrill was over, I found somebody new
You make my life complete
And now I'm dancing in the street
And with your smile so sweet
You've got me dancing in the street
Just watch me move my feet
Now I'm dancing in the street, yeah
