  • I want to spend my life with a girl like you
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    And do all the things that you want me to
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    'Till that time has come that we might live as one
    Can I dance with you
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba

    I can tell by the way you dress that you're so refined
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    And by the way you talk that you're just my kind
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    Girl why should it be that you don't notice me
    Can I dance with you
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba

    Baby baby, is there no chance
    I can take you for the last dance
    All night long, yeah, I've been waiting
    Now there'll be no hesitating

    So before this dance has reached the end
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    To you across the floor my love I'll send
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    I just hope and pray that I'll find a way to say
    Can I dance with you
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
    Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba Writer/s: REG PRESLEY
