I Just Want to Dance With You
John Prine, Roger Cook, 1986· Songs Well-Known in America · p.156
Capo III *
A E7 E
I don't want to be the kind to hesitate, be too shy wait too late
E7 E E7 A
I don't care what they say other lovers do, I just want to dance with you.
A E7 E
I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine, so let it show let it shine.
E7 E E7 A
If we have a chance to make one heart of two, I just want to dance with you.
Chorus:
D A
I want to dance with you, -- twirl you all around the floor
E7 E E7 E A A7
That's what they intended dancing for; I just want to dance with you.
D A
I want to dance with you, -- hold you in my arms once more
E7 E E7 E A
That's what they invented dancing for; I just want to dance with you.
A E7 E
I caught you looking at me when I looked at you. Yes I did, ain't that true?
E7 E E7 A
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do. I just want to dance with you.
A E7 E
Oh, the boys are playing softly and the girls are too; So am I, and so are you.
E7 E E7 A
If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue; I just want to dance with you.
(Chorus)
