[Cm] Things were slow, a little slow
And I was at the kind of party
Where I said I wouldn't go
But in the [Fm] mood, I stay
And then I [Cm] didn't blush at all
At the scene I made.
Well, they're [Gm] all in my [Fm] trance
When I [Cm] dance
The way I move myself around
And they're [Gm] all in my [Fm] trance
When I [Cm] dance.
I'm not a [Cm] pro, I'm not a pro
In fact I barely move at all
Compared to certain guys you know
But if you [Fm] look and see
You'll see they [Cm] won't watch them
The same way they watch me
And they're [Gm] all in my [Fm] trance
When I [Cm] dance
The way I move myself around
And they're [Gm] all in my [Fm] trance
When I [Cm] dance.
Well, [Fm] when I dance that's passion
And when I dance that's love
And there's times I cause that attraction
Well then I [Gm] don't try to start
I just don't try to stop
And I don't blush cause I like it like that
Things were [Cm] slow, a little slow
And when they put on a record I didn't want to know
But soon I [Fm] stood against my will
I heard an [Cm] old time song and I could not sit still
And they're [Gm] all in my [Fm] trance
When I [Cm] dance
The way I move myself around
And they're [Gm] all in my [Fm] trance
When I [Cm] dance.

But in the mood, I stay
And then I didn't blush at all
At the scene I made.
Well, they're all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
And they're all in my trance
When I dance.
I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
In fact I barely move at all
Compared to certain guys you know
But if you look and see
You'll see they won't watch them
The same way they watch me
And they're all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
And they're all in my trance
When I dance.
Well, when I dance that's passion
And when I dance that's love
And there's times I cause that attraction
Well then I don't try to start
I just don't try to stop
And I don't blush cause I like it like that
Things were slow, a little slow
And when they put on a record I didn't want to know
But soon I stood against my will
I heard an old time song and I could not sit still
And they're all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
And they're all in my trance
When I dance.

Things were slow, a little slow
And I was at the kind of party
Where I said I wouldn't go
But in the mood, I stay
And then I didn't blush at all
At the scene I made.
I have em all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
I have em all all in my trance
When I dance.
and I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
In fact I barely move at all
Compared to a lot of guys you know
and if the music isn't right that day
well my little body hardly has anything to say
but they're all in my trance
When I dance
yeah The way I move myself around
well they're all in my trance
When I dance.
Jonathan, why do you think????
Well, when I dance that's passion
And now when I dance that's love
And sometimes I cause an attraction
that I don't try to start
I just don't try to stop it
And I don't blush because I like ya, I like ya
I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
In fact I barely even move
Compared to a lot of guys you know
and if the music isn't right that day
well now my little body hardly has anything to say
but they're all in my trance
When I dance
yeah The way I move myself around
I'm saying they're all in my trance, yeah
the way I dance.
Things were slow, a little slow
in fact when they put on the record I didn't want to know
but in a minute and a half you see
they wern't watching each other they were watchin me
they're all in my trance
When I dance, yeah
The way I move myself around
well they're all in my trance
the way I dance.

Things were slow, a little slow
And I was at the kind of party
Where I said I wouldn't go
But in the mood, I stay

and they're all in my trance
the way I dance.
I'm not a pro, it's not cause I'm a pro
cause In fact I barely even move
Compared to a lot of guys you know
but if you look and see
you see they don't watch them quite the same way they watch me
and they're all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
and they're all in my trance
When I dance.
Jonathan, why?
cause, when I dance that's passion
And when I dance that's love
And there's times I cause this attraction
well that I don't try to start
I just don't try to stop
And I don't blush because I like it like that
and Things were slow, a little slow
and when they put on the record well I didn't want to know

Things were slow, a little slow, that's right
And I was at the kind of party
Where I said I'm not going to go
But then in the mood, I stay
And then I didn't blush a bit
At the scene I made.
I had them all in my trance
When I dance
The way I move myself around
well they're all in my trance
When I dance.
and I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
In fact I barely even move
Compared to a lot of guys you know
and if the music isn't right that day
my little body and me don't have very much to say
but they're all in my trance
When I dance
oh yeah The way I move myself around
well they're all in my trance
When I dance.
