Lyrics
They say oh my god I see the way you shine
Expressing admiration for someone's shining presence
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
Inviting the person to hold hands affectionately
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
Being captivated by the person's presence
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Asking to witness the person dance again
Ooh I see you, see you, see you every time
Noticing the person frequently
And oh my I, I, I like your style
Admiring the individual's unique way/style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
Feeling emotionally moved by the person
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Requesting to see the person dance once more
So they say
Referring to what others say about the situation
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh
Requesting the person to dance repeatedly
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
Expressing awe at the uniqueness of the person's actions
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
Asking the person to keep moving in a captivating manner
And when you're done I'll make you do it all again
Implying the cycle of requesting a performance again
I said oh my god I see you walking by
Noting the person passing by again
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes
Asking for eye contact and connection
Just like a monkey I've been dancing my whole life
Comparing oneself to a lifelong dancer like a monkey
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time
Desiring the audience to see the speaker dance again
Ooh I see you, see you, see you every time
Repeatedly noticing the person's presence
And oh my I, I like your style
Admiring the person's style once more
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
Feeling emotionally moved by the person again
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Requesting another performance
So they say
Referring again to what others say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh
Repeatedly requesting the person to dance
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
Expressing surprise at the person's unique actions
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
Asking for continuous movement in a captivating manner
And when you're done I'll make you do it all again
Hinting at the repetitive nature of the request for performance
They say
Reiterating what others say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Continuing to express amazement at the person's actions
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
Reiterating the unique nature of the person's performance
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
Continuously requesting movement in a captivating manner
And when you're done I'll make you do it all again
Implying the cyclic nature of requesting a performance
Ooh
An exclamation expressing emotion
Woah-oh, woah-oh, oh
Using vocal sounds to convey excitement or surprise
Ooh
An exclamation expressing emotion
Ah ah, ah
Vocal sounds used as an expression
They say
Reiterating the request for the person to dance
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh
Reaffirming the uniqueness of the person's actions
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
Reiterating the request for continuous captivating movement
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
Continuing to ask for engaging movement
And when you're done I'll make you do it all again
Implying the repetitive nature of the request for performance
They say
Reiterating the request for the person to dance
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Continuing to express awe at the person's actions
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
Reiterating the uniqueness of the person's performance
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
Continuously asking for captivating movement
And when you're done I'll make you do it all again
Implying the cyclic nature of the request for performance
All again
Repeating the cycle of performance again
