[Intro]
Entrea
Ay, tantas cosas que quiero
Decirte yo quiero
Hacer por ti
But first we must dance

[Verse 1]
Private cotillion style
One lady's fantasy
Trip to Milan tonight
Exclusive shopping spree
Mansions await, your scent
That smells just like treasure
Dining with me in suites
That overlooks the shore

[Chorus]
As we move, then we touch, then we dip
(Dancin' with a rich man)
As we move, then we touch, then we dip
(Shall we dance, shall we dance, shall we dance)
As we turn, then we stare, then we kiss
(Dancin' with a rich man)
As we turn, then we stare, then we kiss

[Verse 2]
Kissing the feet of you
While listening to Bontemps
And your angelic grace
Wearing Victoria
Passionate love with you
Hearing you, "Oh, oui oui"
Some antique jewelry from
Kenshire's gallery

[Chorus]
As we move, then we touch, then we dip
(Dancin' with a rich man)
As we move, then we touch, then we dip
(Shall we dance, shall we dance, shall we dance)
As we turn, then we stare, then we kiss
(Dancin' with a rich man)
As we turn, then we stare, then we kiss

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
And when you elevate
Like visions of grandeur
Mademoiselle and me
Behind the villa doors
Sunsets on yellow sand
That's where we rendezvous
Chapels of Valentine
Is just to name a few

[Chorus]
As we move, then we touch, then we dip
(Dancin' with a rich man)
As we move, then we touch, then we dip
(Shall we dance, shall we dance, shall we dance)
As we turn, then we stare, then we kiss
(Dancin' with a rich man)
As we turn, then we stare, then we kiss

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
