Dance Monkey
By Tones and I 2019
They say, "Oh my God, I see the way you shine
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine"
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my, I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Chorus
So they say, "Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
I said, "Oh my God, I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes"
Just like a monkey, I've been dancin' my whole life
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my, I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Chorus
Chorus
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (do it all again, do it all again, do it all again)
Whoa, whoa, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh (do it all again, do it all again, do it all again)
Whoa, ah
Chorus
Chorus
All again
