They say this lasts forever   That's just what I'm afraid of   I'll never danced like this again   She smiles like a Georgia summer   She laughs like the sound of thunder   I wanna dance like this again      Ooh, ooh      I'm not the marrying kind   I've said a thousand times   I've never danced like this before   She's got the prettiest shoes   And I love the way she moves   I wanna dance like this again      I was free and far from home   I was young and on my own   I was blind as I could be   Thinking love was not for me   'Til the night I met the girl named Tennessee      Ooh, ooh      Lights came down and the room spun slow   Started saying she had to go   Don't go baby, I didn't catch your name   She said, "Don't worry. I did not say."      Oh she danced away with my heart and soul   Who she was I will never know   Danced away with my hopes and dreams   My sweet girl from Tennessee      I was free and far from home   I was young and on my own   I was blind as I could be   Thinking love was not for me   'Til the night I met that girl named Tennessee      Ooh, ooh      Ooh, ooh
