One Dance      Because 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 tale 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      Why do all the rules I make   About 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   About 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 stone while there's a crew   Before I stumble someplace new   Let me have one dance with you      (Talking) Woody Guthrie carves a sign into his guitar that says, "This    machine kills fascists." Ani DiFranco says, "Every tool is a weapon if    you hold it right." I say, "Here's a monkey wrench; if you bop me on   the head long enough, maybe I'll wake up for a second."      One dance with you...
