Bedroom Dancing
Day One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you wanna go dancin?
In a club?
We could have a good time and live it up.
Said if you wanna go dancing you gotta wear a tuxedo
And we could do the tango wherever we go
Said if you wanna do the tango then we're gonna need a ballroom
So she took me by the hand and led me to her bedroom
And then she did it...stripped me half naked
And told me that her body was sacred.
She said I could take it, if I danced with her
But somehow I knew that she was an indian giver

I said "what about tomorrow?"
She said "what about tonight?"
She said "trust me baby-it'll be alright"

She walked in wearin stiletto boots
First woman, wedding, then honeymoon,
This girl that I thought I knew so well...
Didn't know her until we hit the hotel
And we're on the dancefloor, by the seashore
She said "these nights we dance together is what I live for"
I said "what about before, before these nights?"
She said "ask me no questions and i'll tell you no lies"

I said "what about tomorrow?"
She said "what about tonight?"
Trust me baby it'll be alright

And so we danced and danced and danced and danced and danced
So we danced and danced and danced and danced and danced -all night.

12 o' clock the music stopped (music fades out to silence)
She walked away from me and took her shoes off
And she said "thats it"
And I knew it,
She said "we can't dance without music." (music starts up again)

I said "we can dance tomorrow"
She said "we've already danced tonight, trust me baby you'll be alright"




It'll be alright.
It'll be alright.
