Temptations - May I Have This Dance? lyrics

rate me

May i have this dance<br />

I've been waitin for this chance<br />

All night long (all night long)<br />

And this night i'll always treasure<br />

If i could have the pleasure<br />

To excort you<br />

Don't you know i've bit my nails in to<br />

Wantin to dance with you<br />

But i was much too shy<br />

I never had the nerve<br />

Before you'd dance across the floor with another guy<br />

The way he held you in his arms<br />

With his many charms<br />

I knew my chances were slim<br />

In order to get to you<br />

There's only one thing to do<br />

So i got rid of him<br />

Hey<br />

Ooh hoo i told him that a girl<br />

By the name of pearl<br />

Was looking for him<br />

And when i turned around<br />

He was nowhere to be found<br />

So here i am<br />

Ooh i gotta have this dance (gotta have this dance with you)<br />

Honey i (gotta have this dance with you)<br />

Honey i, honey i, honey i, have this dance<br />

Honey i (gotta have this dance with you)<br />

Gotta have this dance<br />

Oh...
