[INSTRUMENTAL OPENING] [Pure instrumental — no vocals] [Dry Rhodes plays a short 2-bar melody with an unexpected leap on the final note] [Stop] [Bass enters alone for one bar, answering with a low descending phrase] [Muted guitar answers the bass with two clipped notes] [Rhodes returns, but starts the melody one beat later than expected] [Kick enters underneath the final two notes] [Second pass adds a new high Rhodes note] [Then the full groove] [Make the opening melody instantly hummable but structurally unpredictable] [VERSE 1] You were standing by the speakers I was talking to your friend Someone asked us where we met Neither one could remember when You said you don't really dance I said, “Good, neither do I” Then the DJ played that record And you gave me that look like, why lie? We stayed against the wall For maybe half a minute Then you laughed and said “Okay, but we're not doing this” [PRE-CHORUS] One song That's all You took my hand I forgot the deal [CHORUS] We said we wouldn't dance Look at us now We said we wouldn't dance Look at us now One song Two drinks Your shoes My feet We said we wouldn't dance And I don't know Who broke the rule But I like it [VERSE 2] You missed the first step I missed the second one Neither of us cared We were already having fun Someone moved around us Someone spilled something red You leaned in laughing And said, “Don't stop yet” The song was nearly over Then the DJ brought it back You said, “That's cheating” I said, “I don't mind that” [PRE-CHORUS] One song That's all You took my hand I forgot the deal [CHORUS] We said we wouldn't dance Look at us now We said we wouldn't dance Look at us now One song Two drinks Your shoes My feet We said we wouldn't dance And I don't know Who broke the rule But I like it [BRIDGE] No promises No big scene No reason To make it mean Just your hand Inside my hand And that song Starting again [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] [Return to the opening Rhodes melody] [First phrase alone] [Bass interrupts before the phrase resolves] [Guitar answers with a completely new rhythm] [Rhodes plays only the final three notes] [One bar of bass and drums] [Original melody returns, now harmonized by guitar] [Add a bright melodic counterline that was not present earlier] [FINAL CHORUS] We said we wouldn't dance Look at us now We said we wouldn't dance Look at us now One song Two drinks Your shoes My feet We said we wouldn't dance Then the DJ played another And we didn't even argue We said we wouldn't dance We said we wouldn't dance [OUTRO] You laughed I said, “Fine” One more song We said we wouldn't dance
