Stuck in my seat, can't move, no way
The other guys knows the game to play
I'm watchin' her, I'm watchin' me, I'm gettin' brave
Oh, take him apart, say listen to me
Look on the floor and all is spinning round
Someone told me this was just a dance
And take a chance I ain't met before
Do you think I really have a chance? (x 2)
Hypnotic tango, tango, tango!
Rough Diamond he smiles, she looks at him
Ain't gonna be no story in love
Take me to the dancefloor by the hand
Give me this night in a foreign land
Look on the floor and all is spinning round
Someone told me this was just a dance
And take a chance I ain't met before
