I Just Wanna Dance with You
Dance Into the Heart: Micke Ahlgrens' Soulful Invitation
Lyrics
I don't want to be the kind to hesitate,
I don't want to be hesitant or indecisive.
be too shy, wait too late
I don't want to be too timid or wait too long.
I don't care what they say other lovers do,
I don't care about what other lovers do or say.
I just want to dance with you.
The speaker simply wants to dance with the person.
I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine,
The speaker senses a similarity in hearts between them.
so let it show, let it shine.
The speaker encourages the other person to express their heart.
If we have a chance to make one heart of two,
If there's a chance to unite their hearts, the speaker wants to dance.
I just want to dance with you.
Reiteration of the desire to dance with the person.
I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
The speaker wants to dance and spin the person around.
That's what they intended dancin' for,
Connecting dancing with its intended purpose.
I just want to dance with you.
Expressing the primary desire to dance with the person.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
The speaker wants to dance and hold the person in their arms.
That's what they invented dancin' for,
Reiteration of the connection between dancing and closeness.
I just want to dance with you.
Emphasizing the desire to dance with the person.
I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you,
Recalling a moment when the person looked at the speaker.
Yes I did, ain't that true?
Affirming that the person did indeed look at the speaker.
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do,
Assuring the person won't be embarrassed by the speaker's actions.
I just want to dance with you.
Reiteration of the desire to dance without inhibition.
The boys are playin' softly and the girls are too,
Setting the scene with boys and girls playing softly.
So am I and so are you.
Highlighting the shared atmosphere between the speaker and the person.
If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue,
Imagining their situation as if it were in a movie.
I just want to dance with you.
Reiteration of the desire to dance, now in the context of a movie scene.
I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
Repetition of the desire to dance and spin around.
That's what they intended dancin' for,
Reiteration of the connection between dancing and its intended purpose.
I just want to dance with you.
Repetition of the primary desire to dance with the person.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
Repetition of the desire to dance and hold the person.
That's what they invented dancin' for,
Reiteration of the connection between dancing and closeness.
I just want to dance with you.
Emphasizing the speaker's strong desire to dance with the person.
I want to dance with you,
Reiteration of the desire to dance with the person.
Twirl you all around the floor
Repetition of dancing and spinning as intended.
That's what they invented dancin' for,
Emphasizing the purpose of dancing.
I just want to dance with you.
Reiteration of the primary desire to dance with the person.
I want to dance with you,
Repetition of the desire to dance and hold the person.
hold you in my arms once more,
Reiteration of the connection between dancing and closeness.
That's what they invented dancin' for,
Emphasizing the purpose of dancing in holding the person.
I just want to dance with you.
Final expression of the strong desire to dance with the person.
I just want to dance with you.
Repetition of the desire to dance with the person.
I just want to dance with you.
-I just want to dance with you.
Final repetition of the desire to dance with the person.
