(David Bellamy)
When she asked me to dance I said, I have two left feet.
And the she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet
And she said, Hold me as close as you can `til my bodies on fire.
It`s just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
So we moved like water bein` poured over polished steel
And I really can`t translate the way she made me feel
And the music played on and the mercury just went higher
It`s just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
We did the samba, the mambo
The tango, the two-step while we romanced
And when the music got fast
We just held to each other and slow danced.
--- Instrumental ---
I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night
And as we walked in to her place she reached out to dim the light
She said, Dance with me darlin` `til the moon and the stars retire.
It`s just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
It`s just a vertical expression of horizontal desire...
