Zero Effect - One Dance lyrics
rate meBecause I love you, I get tongue tied around you
I never say smart stuff around you
I never say anything around you
That makes you want to be with me
So, because I love you, I will never be with you
There's plenty other people who I always find the words for
That I have the sweet gift of gab for
That I'm magical and good for
Who because I do not love them, always want to be with me
Everything I say is true, so there's nothing we can do
Then what the hell I'll say to you
Let me have one dance with you
I recognize the look
In my eyes when I see you
It's the look of one who loves you
Who wants nothing except to be with you
It is not the look that often gets returned in kind
Same old tales ain't nothing new
What the hell's a soul to do
But maybe you can help me through
Giving me one dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you
Why do all the rules I make
'Bout how to act around other people
Like don't write them private notes trying to explain your foolish actions
Like not hanging around for hours after it's obvious
That your presence ain't desired like names are not important
So if someone forgets your name
They're forgetting something intangible
That has nothing to do with you
So it's stupid to feel bad, if someone forgets your name
Why do all the rules I make
'Bout how to act around other people always fall by the wayside
When I get around you there ain't no more carrot stew
That old sky ain't never blue that's a lie but this is true
All I want's one dance with you
My bed's unmade, my stuff's askew
I ain't heard the dumbest clue
I just want to squeeze on through
By getting one more dance with you
Stick it while there's still some glue
Move that stuff while there's a crew
Before I stumble someplace new
Let me have one dance with you
Let me have one dance with you
Let me have one dance with you
Woody Guthrie carves a sign into his guitar
"This machine kills fascists"
Ani Difranco says, "Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right"
I say, "Here's a monkey wrench, bop me on the head long enough
Maybe I'll wake up for a second"
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, dance with you, dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
One dance with you, one dance with you
