He got a frame like a busted bike He got a face that nobody likes to see Nobody but me He got a thing or two to learn about love He act like he ain’t never heard of romance So why’d i give him a chance? My baby can dance My baby can swing My baby can shake me slow So i don’t need no other thing My baby can dance My baby can sway My baby can hold me tight enough To drive my cares away We go out to the joint downtown I dress up and he dress down but it Don’t matter one bit 'cus we got something better than class Who needs love when love don’t last that long? And all we need is a song My baby can dance My baby can groove My baby can shut me up So i listen to the music and move My baby can dance My baby can sway My baby can hold me tight enough To drive my cares away My baby can dance
