Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]May[G] I[D]
[G]have this [D]dance
I've been [G]waitin' for this [D]chance
All night long (all night long)
And this [Am]night I'll always treasure
If I could have the pleasure
To es[G]cort [D]you

[Verse 2]
Don't you know I've [G]bit
my nails in [D]to
Wantin' to [G]dance with you
[D]But I was much too shy
I [Am]never had the nerve
Before you'd dance across the
floor with [G]another [D]guy
The way he [G]held you in his [D]arms
[G]With his many charm[D]s
I knew my chances were slim
In order to [Am]get to you
There's only one thing to do
So I [G]got rid of [D]him
[G]Hey

[Verse 3]
[D]
[Am][G][D]
Ooh hoo I [G]told him that a [D]girl
[G]By the name of [D]pearl
[G]Was loo[D]king for him
And when I [Am]turned around
He was nowhere to be found

[Verse 4]
[G]So here I [D]am
Oh I [G]gotta have this dance (gotta have
this dance with you)
Honey [D]I (gotta have this
dance with you)
Honey [Am]I, honey I, honey I,[G]
[D]have this dance
Honey [G]I (gotta have this
dance [D]with you)
Gotta have this dance

[Outro 1]
Oh
[Am][G][D]
