Cause baby Jerry don't talk this nonsense to everyone
I want you to get out on this dance floor with me now
And now hold me close baby hold me close
In a tumbled move baby you move too
Baby you move me girl oh hold me close yeah

Mhm baby hold me close don't you move your feet
Just a move it slow baby to that old rockin' beat
And don't you say a word mhm honey just just hold me close
Oh baby hold me close dance the night away
Honey I want you to just breathe a little deep mhm you know what to say
Mhm when the band is gone honey we can still rock on
Easy now honey hold me close honey hold me tight
