Thank you for getting me to dance.
Thank you for getting me out on the floor.
Thank you for getting me to dance.
I'd forgotten that sometimes that's what music's for.
It was a stretch- I think we both knew it.
But just the same I wanted to do it.
So thank you for getting me to dance.

Thank you for getting me to dance.
For getting me out from behind this guitar.
Thank you for getting me to dance.
And making me feel like I belonged in your arms.
It was fun, and sexy, and freeing.
I didn't care what others were seeing.
So thank you for getting me to dance.
Thank you for getting me to dance.
Thanks for the twirls, the dips and the spins.
Thank you for getting me to dance.
And that look in your eyes when the band would begin.
And though the music is slowing, and we both should be going
I'm glad I took the chance...
So thank you.... for getting me to dance.
