The Dance Lyrics

Artist: Prince
Album: 3121

Eye don't wanna give U my love
'Cause eye don't wanna lose my mind
Eye don't wanna give U my love
'Cause if eye do it's gonna be the last time (eww eww eww)
'Cause Eye never want 2 feel this way again
If eye can't be Ur lover, eye don't wanna be Ur friend
No, eye don't wanna be friends, no

(eww eww eww, baby)
(ewww oh, ewww oh)

Eye don't wanna hold Ur hand, (eye don't wanna gold Ur hand,)no
'Cause eye would just follow U everywhere (oh oh oh, uh oh)
Eye don't wanna see U dance (eye don't want 2 see it, girl)
'Cause eye don't even really want 2 take the chance
Of fallin' in love with U, baby
If U ever said those beautiful words 2 me
"If eye wanna be Ur fantasy", yes...
Eye wanna dance, yes
(Let's dance sugar)

(eww eww eww, oooh)

Eye don't wanna give U my love

Oh baby, This must be temptation

'Cause eye just can't get U off my mind
Eye try and try, but when eye close my eyes
Eye see U every time, un hunh

Eye don't wanna go 2 fast (oooh)
'Cause if eye do eye just might stay (stay with me)
Eye'd stay with U, baby
Eye guess eye better make it last (make it last, eww eww)
The longer that eye feel this way (the longer that U feel this way)
Eye never want 2 feel this way again
If eye can't be Ur lover eye don't wanna be Ur friend, no
Eye don't wanna be friends, no

Eye don't want 2 give U my love
Eye don't want 2 give U my love

Oh oh honey, baby, no no no

Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo
Baby, how U gonna really just stand there
And act like U don't want this, baby?
If U do then U know, eye just don't care
Oh baby, eye can find another just like U anywhere
Oh baby, they might not have Ur hips, girl
Or that pretty hair, Ooo Ooo Ooo
At least they won't spend all day in the mirror
Trying 2 find something 2 wear
At least, they won't want 2 make love like U do
On the stairs, against the pole
On the north corner of the... aww baby, baby, baby, baby
It's just not fair, it's just not fair, (scream)Ooo Ooo...

Tie song took me by surprise. When hearing the intro at first I almost skipped to the next track. But listening to the whole dong I realized how emotionally strong the message was... I think that is one of Prince's most interesting tracks. I love it!

The end of the song is classic Prince.

This song is amazing. When you first hear it the lyrics might not grab you...but the last 1:21 of the track is Prince in classic rare form doing it the way he only know how. This song should definitely be added to any show he does. It would be a special treat to hear it live....
