Spin You Around
Lyrics:
[English]
I've been lookin' at you from across the room
...
'Bout time I got my nerve
...
Well, you might tell me, "Boy, hell no"
...
But hell, what can hurt?
'Cause I just wanna spin you 'round and 'round this dance floor
Get you drunk on a love like mine
Might wind up and steal a couple kisses
Get your digits if I can find the right line
But you don't do feelings, then, baby, if you're willin'
I'ma do my best to change your mind
'Cause the way you stole my heart without a sign
Girl, it oughta be a crime
...
Got a pretty good feelin' I'm takin' you home
...
Gonna love you with all I got
...
But before we slip out into the night
...
Yeah, I just want one more shot
...
To take your hand and spin you 'round and 'round this dance floor
Get you drunk on a love like mine
Might wind up and steal a couple kisses
Get your digits if I can find the right line
But you don't do feelings, then, baby, if you're willin'
I'ma do my best to change your mind
'Cause the way you stole my heart without a sign
Girl, it oughta be a crime
I've fought in some bars, broken some hearts
...
Ain't never done nothin' this bad
Yeah, with one look at me, you became my disease
They don't make no cure for that
And I just wanna spin you 'round and 'round this dance floor
...
Get you drunk on a love like mine
Might wind up and steal a couple kisses
Get your digits if I can find the right line
But you don't do feelings, then, baby, if you're willin'
I'ma do my best to change your mind
'Cause the way you stole my heart
Yeah, the way you stole my heart
...
Yeah, the way you stole my heart without a sign
Girl, it oughta be a crime
(Spin you 'round and 'round this dance floor)
...
I just wanna spin you 'round tonight
(Spin you 'round and 'round this dance floor)
I just wanna spin you 'round tonight
(Spin you 'round and 'round this dance floor)
...
