Lyrics

[Intro, spoken] Now, as he said, we're from Boston And we'd like to describe a bleak winter night in Boston And the college scene in Boston Now, the college guy is outside the dorm And the girl he knows is inside wasting her time And he thinks he could bring her out of it He thinks, now- (Listenin' to Santana records) Yeah, she's listening to Santana records, and generally wasting her time Now-now, so-so our hero thinks: "Now, if I could convince her to dance with mе, in her dorm Then she'd see how bеautiful she really was And she wouldn't waste her time anymore" And so The Modern Lovers would like to submit "Dance With Me" Which starts as follows: Now, it's a cold winter night in Boston [Verse 1] Well, hi, dear, I'm just here from outside I've been out all alone in the cold night And in the shopping center at midnight I've been out all alone in the moonlight So I am cold, but I can dance And I say dance with me [Verse 2] Well, hi, now, I'm just back from Europe I learned a lot, I used to dance in the big dances in the cities Well, you're all alone in the dorm, here I'm excited and you're safe and warm You're warm, I am cold And I say dance with me [Laughing] Alright [Verse 3] And if you dance with me Right, look at me and smile If you look at me Well, then, I hope you'll smile Because your face is pure sex when you smile It's written in huge, suburban letters Which say "tenderness," which say "sex" I say dance with me [Verse 4] Now, listen, when I came over here I just shaved my face with a shaver And I just did it to try and make myself handsome Your life must be dull in the dorm, here I'm excited, and-and you're safe and warm So you're warm, I am cold I say dance with me [Break, spoken] Alright, time for the middle part now [Verse 5] Well, now, dear, don't you love the city? Don't you love the idea of city romance, oh! You're my modern, suburban pretty I say dance with me [Verse 6] Alright, well, hi, now, the college dorm I'm just here from outside I've been out all alone in the cold night And in the shopping center at midnight I've been out all alone in the cold of the moonlight So here I am cold, but I can dance And I say dance with me [Outro, spoken] Thank you
