I Came to Dance Songtext
von Nils Lofgren

Well, my manager kept tellin′ me
If I wanna be great
I'd better wise up
And sing my songs straight

I said: "Hey fool, in order to survive
I gotta be my dirty self, I won′t play no jive"
He told me he'd quit
I said: "Don't jump to conclusions
Maybe bein′ staight ain′t the right solution
I'm not Bob Dylan but I never miss a beat
I ain′t no philosopher, I dance in the street"

Well, I came to dance
Yes, I came to dance
It's a rhythm romance
I′m havin' with my shoes
I′ve got nothin' to lose
I came to dance


Well, I came to dance
Yes, I came to dance
It's a rhythm romance
I′m havin′ with my shoes
I've got nothin′ to lose
I came to dance
I came to dance
I came to dance
I came to dance

I took the matter up
With a few million friends of mine
The supreme court of rock and roll
Is doing just fine
Demanding a speech
They poured me a drink
I play guitar all night and day
Just don't ask me to think

I came to dance (I came to dance)
Oh, it′s a rhythm romance (I came to dance)
Yes, I came to dance
Oh, I've got a story


Well, my manager kept tellin′ me
If I wanna be great
I'd better wise up
And sing my songs straight
I said: "Listen here fool, in order to survive
I gotta be my dirty self, I won't play no jive"
I came to dance
Yeah, I came to dance

I came to dance
Yes, I came to dance
It′s a rhythm romance (I came to dance)
Yes, I came to dance
I came to dance (I came to dance)
I came to dance (It′s a rhythm romance)
I came to dance
I came to dance
I came to dance
Yes, I came to dance
I came to dance (It's a rhythm romance)
I came to dance
