Verse 1
Wait a minute…something’s wrong
I left my baby standin’ here and
Now she’s gone
I got plenty of sense to come in outta the rain
But keeping up with that girl is a burdensome thing
Chorus
Dancin’ in the riptide
She goes dancin’ in the riptide
And she won’t come home to me
‘till her motor runs low
When she goes dancin’ in the riptide
I don’t even know my name.
Verse 2
I told her once a long time ago
When she dances in the riptide
It hurts me so.
Can’t take a breath, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep
I wear out a rug trippin over my feet
Chorus
When the riptide takes her too far away
My baby ain’t my baby and it’s a mighty long day
I drink too much wine to dull the pain
Kill too much time getting’ up again
When she’s dancin’ in the riptide
I don’t even know my name
Bridge
If you want a little love
You gotta give a little love
That’s the way the theory goes
But, when you got a love that makes you loose your mind
On a regular basis, is that Love?
Verse 3
You can’t blame a woman for driving you insane,
When she’s only doin’ her job
How can anything be so damn sweet,
And be rougher than a cob?
Chorus 3
Dancin’ in a riptide
She goes dancin’ in a riptide
And she won’t come home to me
‘till her motor runs low
Even though she’s dancin’ in a riptide
I still love her so
Refrain and Tag
Dancin’….dancin’ in the riptide
Dancin’….dancin’ in the riptide
You can find her in the riptide all night long
