See you dancin' in the corner with all your best girlfriends
Laughin' and singin' these are the days of Your innocence
All us boys want in your circle but we don't dare break in
i'm leanin' against the wall thinkin'
While your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American boy tonight
'Cause your life is just a breath and tonight is just the dance
So why don't you give this red-blooded American boy the chance
A woman stands beside me in my mind Her hair has a touch of gray
Sometimes i just shut my mouth i know she knows what i'm gonna say
A look comes from her eyes only born of loving years
Sometimes i open up my mouth and i fight back her tears
Ii say
While your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American boy tonight
'Cause your life is just a breath and tonight is just the dance
So why don't you give this red-blooded American boy the chance
Oh baby i'm out of control
Don't know which way to run
Don't know which way to go
Oh these days it's getting harder to live
We all need someone to hold onto
Just hold onto me and i'll hold onto you
Dance with me - i wanna dance with you Oh oh oh
While your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American boy tonight
'Cause your life is just a breath and tonight is just the dance
So why don't you give this red-blooded American boy the chance
Yes why don't you give this red-blooded American boy the chance
