Stand back, and give me room    And listen to that beat    I got the music in my soul    And the rhythm in my feet    When I hear the music,    You won't catch me standing still    And I won't miss a beat    I never have and I never will    And you thought I couldn't dance    And you thought I couldn't dance       I can dance to anything    That any band can play    I've got old-fashioned values    But I'm pretty up to date    And I know all the latest hits    On the radio    You don't have to join me    Stand back and watch my show       And you thought I couldn't dance    And you thought I couldn't dance       Thought I couldn't dance    Hey, watch me prance    Let's make romance    Thought I couldn't dance    You gotta take a chance    If you're gonna learn to dance    And you thought I couldn't dance    And you thought I couldn't dance       There's a lot of closet dancers    Just dyin' to come out    They dance alone inside their rooms    With the music way up loud    And I know you thought I couldn't dance    But I guess I sure fooled you    It just goes to show you never know    Who's wearing dancin' shoes       And you thought I couldn't dance    I'm full of surprises    And you thought I couldn't dance       It's too late now    I can't slow down...can't slow down       Oh, feel the heat    From these dancin' feet... can't slow down       And you thought I couldn't dance    And you thought I couldn't dance       Repeat...
