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'
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
It's only born of loving years
Sometimes I open up my mouth and I fight back
His tears Ii say
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 Oh oh oh
'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
