I Came To Dance

Well, my manager kept tellin' me If I wanna be great
I’d better wise up And play my songs straight
I said, «Hey fool,
In order to survive
I gotta be my dirty self
I won’t play no jive!»
He told me he’d quit
I said, «Don't jump to conclusions!
Maybe bein' staight ain’t the right solution.
I’m not Bob Dylan,
But I never miss a beat.
I ain’t no philosopher.
I dance in the street»
Well, I came to dance
Yes, I came to dance
It’s a rhythm romance
I’m havin' with my shoes
I’ve got nothin' to lose
(Whispered: I came to dance)
(guitar solo)
Woo!
(Whispered by backup singers)
I came to dance
I came to dance
I came to dance
I came to dance
I took the matter up With a few million friends of mine
The supreme court of rock and roll
Is doing just fine
Demanding a speech
They poured me a drink
I play guitar all night and day
Just don’t ask me to think
I came to dance (I came to dance)
Oh, it’s a rhythm romance (I came to dance)
I came to dance
Oh, I’ve got a story
(Repeat Verse 1 — Spoken, not sung)
(replace «play my songs straight"with «sing my songs straight»
I came to dance
Yeah, I came to dance
