Would You Like To Dance

Joan Armatrading · Other Songs - Joan Armatrading

Want you

And I don't know

What to do



Should I try to meet

You after work

By coincidence



Should I make a beeline

To your door ring your bell

Ask someone to introduce us



Hey baby would you like to dance

Would you like to see my yacht



Should I faint right at your feet

Walk right up and ask you

If you want to take a chance on me



Or start a conversation

With an old time melody



I'll treat you like a newborn child

Show a lot of self restraint



I want your loving

Can't live without you

Said I need your loving need your loving



Don't leave it too late

Said I need your loving need your loving



Hey baby would you like to dance

I'd show a lot of self restraint



I want your loving

Can't live without you

And I need your loving need your loving

Can't live without you

Said I need your loving need your loving



[Chorus]

Hey baby would you like to dance

We could have a fine romance

Would you like to see my yacht

I'll give you every little thing I got



Treat you like a newborn child

Protect you from the world outside

Show a lot of self restraint



Until you say you're really ready



[Chorus]



Don't leave it too late

Said I need your loving need your loving



[Chorus]
