Dance With Me

B.B. King · Great Moments With B.B. King [2011]

I want to dance with you baby

But I don't move around so fast

I want to dance with you baby

But I don't move around so fast

You really movin me baby

And you know that I can't last



Dance in the morning baby dance till the afternoon

Ooh, Dance in the morning baby dance till the afternoon

Well, I feel so good but I know I got to stop real soon



Wake me shake me

Keep me on my feet

And out of this world

Every time we meet



I'm dancing with you baby, doing the best I can



I gotta keep on dancing baby and then we'll make romance



I gotta rock with you baby

till my feet wont move on the floor

I gotta rock with you baby

till my feet wont move on the floor

I gotta rock as long as I can baby

and then I'll have to rock some more



So, wake me shake me

Keep me on my feet

And out of this world

Every time we meet



I gotta keep on rocking

Rock as long as I can

I gotta keep on rocking

As long as I be your man
