See me dancin' in the corner with all my best girlfriends
Laughin' and singin' these are the days of your innocence
All us boys want in your circle but we don't dare break in
I'm leanin' against the wall thinkin'
While your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American girl tonight
'Cause your life is just a breath and tonight is just the dance
So why don't you give this red-blooded American girl the chance
A men stands beside me in my mind His hair has a touch of gray
Sometimes I just shut my mouth I know he knows what I'm gonna say
A look comes from his eyes only born of loving years
Sometimes I open up my mouth and I fight back his tears
Ii say
While your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American girl tonight
'Cause your life is just a breath and tonight is just the dance
So why don't you give this red-blooded American girl the chance
Oh baby I'm out of control
Don't know which way to run
Don't know which way to go
Oh these days it's getting harder to live
We all need someone to hold onto
Just hold onto me and I'll hold onto you
Dance with me
I wanna dance with you
'Cause your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American girl tonight
'Cause your life is just a breath and tonight is just one dance
So why don't you give this red-blooded American girl the chance
Yes why don't you give this red-blooded American girl the chance
Laughin' and singin' these are the days of your innocence
All us boys want in your circle but we don't dare break in
I'm leanin' against the wall thinkin'
While your laugh is still easy and your heart is still light
Why don't you dance with this red-blooded American girl tonight
'Cause your life is just a breath and tonight is just the dance
So why don't you give this red-blooded American girl the chance
A men stands beside me in my mind His hair has a touch of gray
Sometimes I just shut my mouth I know he knows what I'm gonna say
