[Verse 1]
I don't want to be the kind to hesitate
Be too shy, wait too
late
I don't care what they say other lovers do
I just want to dance with you
[Verse 2]
I gotta feeling
that you have a heart like mine
So let it show, let it shine
If we have a chance to make one heart of two
I just want to dance with you
[Chorus]
I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That's what they intended dancing for
I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you
[Verse 3]
I caught you looking at me when I looked at you
Yes
I did, ain't that true?
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do
I just want to dance with you
[Verse 4]
Oh the boys are playing softly and the girls are too
So am I and so are you
If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue
I just want to dance with you
[Chorus]
I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That's what they intended dancing for
I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more
That's
what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you
[Outro]
I just want to dance with you
I just want to dance with you
I just want to dance with you
How to Format Lyrics:
- Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
- Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
- Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
- Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
- If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Songfacts®:
This John Prine and Roger Cook penned cut was originally recorded by Prine for his 1986 album German Afternoons. Strait covered the tune in April 1998 for the lead-off single to his album, One Step at a Time. The song became his 34th country #1.
Asked by Billboard magazine why he recorded the song, Strait replied: "I felt it had such a great laid-back melody and groove, if you will, and I also loved the lyrics. Especially the line 'That's what they intended dancing for.' I think I changed it to 'That's what they invented dancing for,' but ended up saying both in the song. It's little things like that-little things that are so simple, but yet so clever-that really make a song."
This was also a hit for Daniel O'Donnell in 1992, reaching #20 in the UK single charts.
