Modern Romance
Dancing Through Love: Unveiling the Joyful Journey in Sanford Clark's 'Modern Romance'
Lyrics
I finally got a gal and she's a honey
The singer has found a girl who he considers very attractive.
She never wants to spend a whole lotta money
She prefers not to spend a lot of money.
She says I got a chance
She believes the singer has a chance with her.
Yeah, If I learn to dance
She suggests that if the singer learns to dance, he might have a better chance with her.
There's gonna be a race
There's a sense of competition or challenge implied.
Yeah-yeah, even up the pace
Efforts need to match or equal hers.
A-making with a modern romance
The relationship is being described as a modern romance, implying it's current or contemporary.
A-making with a modern romance
Reiteration of the description of the relationship as a modern romance.
A-big blue eyes and she's so nice
The girl has strikingly blue eyes and is pleasant.
She never once to do the same step twice
She enjoys spontaneity and doesn't repeat actions.
She had me rock 'n' rollin'
The girl initiated excitement or enthusiasm in the singer.
Yeah, now she's got me strollin'
She has influenced the singer to move or act differently.
Oh man, what a race
Expressing the thrill or excitement of the relationship.
Yeah-yeah, keepin' up the pace
Continuation of the excitement and the need to match her pace.
A-making with a modern romance
Reiteration of the relationship being a modern romance.
A-making with a modern romance
Reiteration of the description of the relationship as a modern romance.
Well, it almost seems like forty years ago
Reflecting on the past and how things were different or simpler back then.
I wore out my shoes and learn to do the rock 'n' roll
Recalling learning new dance moves in the past.
Well, I thought I was a-flakin'
Feeling incompetent or inadequate in the past.
And then I learned the chicken
Learning something new (possibly a dance move) called "the chicken."
Man, what a race
Reiteration of the excitement or thrill in the relationship.
Yeah-yeah, keepin' up the pace
The need to match her pace or energy level continues.
A-making with a modern romance
Reiteration of the relationship being a modern romance.
A-making with a modern romance
