Lyrics
There's this girl I wanted to date
Expressing a desire to date a girl.
Like way back in the day
Referring to a past time when the desire to date arose.
And now she on't look my way, no
Indicating that the girl is not showing interest now.
But i dubbed her for this girl that came my way
Choosing another girl over the first one.
Cuz she was miles away
Reasoning the choice due to physical distance.
And I tried to play it safe, no
Attempting to be cautious or reserved in the approach.
She don't dance no more
Stating that the girl doesn't dance anymore.
She don't dance no more
Reiteration of the girl's disinterest in dancing.
She waited for you
Implying that she waited for someone else.
And you made her dance alone
Pointing out that the person made her dance alone.
Oh, oh, oh
Expressing a feeling of regret or empathy.
And I feel bad because
Acknowledging a sense of guilt or remorse.
She been waiting a long time to dance
Highlighting the girl's long wait for dancing.
Come here, hold me down, let's move side to side
Inviting the girl to dance and move together.
She been waiting a long time to dance
Reiteration of the girl's long wait for dancing.
Left foot, right foot, dance round on my mind girl
Describing dance moves and the girl's presence in the mind.
You been at it like all night girl
Noting the girl's prolonged dance activity.
If ion stop you you got all night long
Allowing the girl to continue dancing all night.
That brown skin what I got my eyes on
Expressing attraction to the girl's brown skin.
NA na, ah na, ah na, ah na, ah na
Repeating a rhythmic vocalization.
The way that I hold on your waist
Describing a physical connection through holding the waist.
Through every single step
Highlighting the importance of each dance step.
This night won't go to waste, no
Ensuring that the night won't be wasted.
The whole night I'm touching on your face
Touching the girl's face throughout the night.
We finally face to face
Meeting face to face and entering a private space.
You come in to my place, no
Acknowledging the girl's presence in the narrator's place.
And you, won't dance, alone ever again
Predicting that she won't dance alone anymore.
But you, do you, with all these one night stands
Noting the girl's engagement in one-night stands.
And I'm just trynna see you dance
Expressing a desire to see the girl dance.
Those eyes, nice lips, big smile oh my God
Complimenting the girl's eyes, lips, and smile.
Said I just wanna see you dance
Reiterating the desire to see the girl dance.
Big oof, big huh, big mmm oh my God
Expressing amazement or attraction with vocalizations.
She don't dance no more
Repeating the assertion that the girl doesn't dance anymore.
