[Intro] [Short bass riff and wah guitar] [Verse 1] You kicked your shoes beneath the chair, Pulled that pencil from your hair. Said the day had been too long, Then you heard that old dance song. Left the dishes in the sink, Caught my eye before I'd blink. Took my hand and closed the door, Pulled me to the kitchen floor. [Chorus] Dance with me, nice and slow, We've got nowhere else to go. Let the telephone ring twice, Hold me close and call it a night. Dance with me, cheek to cheek, I've been waiting all this week. Round the table, past the door, Love me on the kitchen floor. [Instrumental] [Repeat bass riff; melodic guitar answers] [Verse 2] You still tease me for the night I wore boots that fit too tight. Tried to dance and stepped on you, Spilled your drink upon your shoe. You said, “Boy, you've got some nerve.” I said, “Watch this little swerve.” Thirty years, you're laughing still, Guess you always have and will. [Chorus] Dance with me, nice and slow, We've got nowhere else to go. Let the telephone ring twice, Hold me close and call it a night. Dance with me, cheek to cheek, I've been waiting all this week. Round the table, past the door, Love me on the kitchen floor. [Guitar Solo] [Clean melodic guitar; steady bass riff; soft steel-guitar answers] [Bridge] We don't turn as fast these days, But you know my little ways. When my shoulder starts to ache, You say, “There's no rush to take.” Rest your head beneath my chin, Let that record start again. Every dance I thought I knew Feels a little new with you. [Final Chorus] Dance with me, nice and slow, We've got nowhere else to go. Let the telephone ring twice, Hold me close and call it a night. Dance with me, cheek to cheek, I've been waiting all this week. Round the table, past the door, Love me on the kitchen floor. [Outro] Round the table, past the door, One more dance, then one dance more. [Short bass and guitar ending]
