And if my two left feet could settle down and split the difference Tripping over myself in every way that I know how Perhaps in time I could surpa** my coy facade of vast indifference But I've already reached the maximum of what my law allows You tell me to relax you tell me Not to try so hard But in the end it only makes me want to more To figure out some way to play some major part So I watch her move and I watch her work I satisfy my voyeuristic quirk Old habits they are hard to break Just harder than it is to take And when she looks away I tap my feet I try my best to be discreet I'm careful so she won't find out How much I want to shout Come on and dance with me Felicia And show me how to do that step I never thought I could You always move so gracefully And I was never any good But maybe if you'll dance with me I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah, Felicia The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me Come on, Felicia set me free And when you start to close your eyes You know you move so beautifully I want to dance with you, come on and dance with me Felicia I suppose the thing that gets me most is that if I'd bothered ever I wouldn't feel so much like Casey who never got to bat You cannot help but laugh at me singing better late than never And more and more I realize I have no argument for that I can almost work up the nerve for a declaration I can almost hear me speak the words as I gain resolve But then you move and you twirl and you smile at me And my inhibitions and my courage both dissolve
And so I'm standing there and I do not move In spite of her momentous groove And for a moment I can barely see A glimpse of how good it could be And then I must admit that I want to try To look Felicia in the eye And when the music starts to play To smile at her and say Come on and dance with me Felicia And show me how to do that step I never thought I could You always move so gracefully And I was never any good But maybe if you'll dance with me I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah, Felicia The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me Come on, Felicia set me free And when you start to close your eyes You know you move so beautifully I want to dance with you, come on and dance with me Felicia And so I'm standing there and I do not move In spite of her momentous groove And for a moment I can barely see A glimpse of how good it could be And then I must admit that I want to try To look Felicia in the eye And when the music starts to play To smile at her and say Come on and dance with me Felicia And show me how to do that step I never thought I could You always move so gracefully And I was never any good But maybe if you'll dance with me I'd feel as nimble as a cheetah, Felicia The momentary soaring of an eagle would be me Come on, Felicia set me free And when you start to close your eyes You know you move so beautifully I want to dance with you, come on and dance with me Felicia I want to dance with you, come on and dance with me Felicia Dance with me, I want to dance with you Felicia
