The Rhythm of You
Dance to the Beat of Your Own Rhythm with Scott Stevens
Lyrics
I’m up when you get up
I am active and energized when you start your day.
Down when you get down
I feel down or low when you are not in a good mood.
Drunk when you get drunk
I act intoxicated or overwhelmed when you are in a similar state.
I’m lost when you’re not around
I feel directionless or confused when you are not present.
I go somewhere no one knows about
I retreat to a private place when I need to be alone.
So dance.
Encouragement to dance and enjoy life.
Pretty mama, spin
Addressing an affectionate term to a woman, suggesting she should spin or dance gracefully.
If you wanna swing,
Encouraging the woman to engage in joyful and carefree activities.
Then baby, swing to the beat of your/the drummer.
Suggesting to embrace life and its rhythm.
Talk your crazy talk
Encouraging open and uninhibited conversation.
And crazy me
Embracing the craziness of the speaker.
Girl/cuz, I love it when you do
Expressing love and appreciation for the woman's eccentricities.
So make me move to the rhythm

Move to the rhythm of you

I bet every woman this bar
Suggesting that every woman in the bar wishes to be like the addressed woman.
Wished that she was you
Continuing to express the exceptional qualities of the woman.
And I bet any man
Speculating that men wish they could be in a romantic relationship with the woman.
Wished they could be your man
Highlighting the desirability of being associated with the woman.
But they can’t
Asserting that others cannot compare to the addressed woman.
And I don’t give a damn
Expressing indifference or defiance regarding potential competition for the woman's attention.
So what’s there left to fight about?

Cuz you know you’d rather be

Up there with the band

Than taking stands

So baby, stand up

To the dance floor
