When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight
When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might
Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you
Well, hold her tight when you dance

When you dance you'll feel the warmth of her embrace
Then you'll know this feeling, yeah is no disgrace
Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you
Well, hold her tight when you dance

You may do a rhumba or a tango
Mambo, calypso or a strand

Lights are turned down low
You go hand in

When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight
When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might
Such a thrill oh when she's close to you
Well, hold her tight when you dance

When you dance be sure to hold her, hold her tight
When you dance you'll squeeze her, yeah with all your might
Such a thrill, oh when she's close to you
Well, hold her tight when you dance
