lyrics

I fumble, I turn and fall down
I hit the ground, uneasy on my feet
I tremble, afraid of stepping out of time
Every sway is clumsy, every motion incomplete
But when you move, girl, you move me

I'm kinda lazy, and I'm more than kinda slow
But when I see you, girl, to catch you I would go, go, go
Just picture me leaping, slow-motion, dramatic twirling through the air
And you can laugh if you want to, 'cause it'd be funny
But I wouldn't really care
'Cause when you move, girl, you move me

So I will dance for you
Crazy, clumsy, quirky as I may be
Yes I will dance for you
I may not be the best, but you can bet you'll always get
The best of me

I stand on sidewalks just watching people pass me by
Feeling kinda dizzy, thinking "they can move, so why can't I?"
Scared of looking foolish, I stand stock still
Never joining the motion, but take my hand, and for you I will
'Cause when you move, girl, you move me

So I will dance for you
Foolish, self-conscious as I may be
I will dance for you
I may not be the best, but you can bet you'll always get
The best of me

Every step you take, my body's shaking
And somewhere way down deep, where I was once asleep
My body's waking
Baby, I was lame, stuck in freeze-frame, until you came to me
Look into my eyes, and realize
Baby you are everything to me

So I will dance for you
"Head over heels" as I may be
I will dance for you
I may not be the best, but you can bet, you'll always get
The best of me.
The best of me.
