Analysis of Two Left Feet and Body Heat
helLo wallflower,
care for a dance?
i’m just lookIng to moVe,
not for romance.
i’m surE that corner is cozy,
and you don’t look all thAt loneLy.
but my dance card Is empty,
and I doubt thaT you’ll tempt me.
no marionettes here.
no strings aTtached.
show me what you’ve got.
let’s see how we’re matched.
stop alL that talking.
let’s dance your thoughts quiet.
no need to watch my toEs.
this isn’t a waltz; it’s a riot.
