Dance Monkey Lyrics

They say, oh my God I see the way you shine
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

I said, "Oh my God I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes"
Just like a monkey, I've been dancing my whole life
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time

Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

Ooh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh
Ooh
Ah, ah, ah

They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
All again"

What is the Meaning of Dance Monkey?

In the vibrant rhythm of life, we often dance to tunes that aren't our own. This song is a poignant commentary on the pressures of living under the constant gaze of society, where individuals are expected to perform and conform. The 'dance' here symbolizes pleasing others, while the 'monkey' represents a puppet-like existence. The protagonist yearns for understanding and appreciation beyond her performance, resonating with many who feel trapped in societal expectations. However, there's an underlying strength in her voice, suggesting resistance and resilience. Ultimately, it's a powerful call to break free from societal chains and embrace one's individuality. #BreakingFree #SocietalExpectations #EmbraceIndividuality
