After The Dance (Live in Montreux 1980) Lyrics by Marvin Gaye

Live in Montreux 1980

1980

[Intro]
Thank you, ladies, haha
Thank you, Mister James
Come on, baby, dance with me
You my desire - thank you, Mister James
My heart's on fire, baby
Oh baby, I can't help myself, darlin'
Ah baby, one more time
[Chorus]
I want you (You), and you want me (Ow)
So why don't we get together after the dance
[Post-Chorus]
Do it one more time for me, Gordon, yeah
I want to, I want to be with you, baby
I know, I know you're my heart's desire, darlin'
You set my heart on fire, hey
[Verse 1]
Ah, pretty girls, when I first saw you
You was looking good on the Soul Train
So good, I came back next week
Saw you there, you was dancing good
Spinning everywhere
I said to myself, "Ah, she's so fine
And the way she moves, I wish she was mine"
She was moving so sexy
Deep in my heart, I knew the little girl needed me
[Chorus]
I want you, and you want me
So why don't we get together after the dance
(I want you) Oh, I want you
(And you want me) You, you want me, baby
(So why don't we) So why, why don't we
Get together, darlin', after the dance
(Get together after the dance)
(I want you) Woo, want you, baby
(And you want me) And you want me
(So why don't we) Oh, so why, why don't we
(Get together after the dance) Oh, oh, after the dance
(I want you) Woo
(And you want me) You know what? You know somethin'?
(So why don't we) I feel like dancing a little bit
(Get together after the dance) I do feel like dancing right now
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Thank you
Woo, I enjoyed that
[Chorus]
(I want you) Ow, I want you
(And you want me) And you want me
(So why don't we) So why, why don't we
(Get together after the dance) Let's get together after the dance
[Outro]
Thank you, thank you very kindly
Is everybody having a good time so far?
Oh boy, let me hear you say "Ow"
That's great, haha, that's mighty fine
Thank you, Mister James
