Lyrics
You Dance (I'm Tired Tonight)
words and music by
Rick Barclay
1st VS: It was Friday night and I had worked a forty-hour week
All I wanted to do was take a load off my feet
But my baby, she had other plans for me
I told her you dance, I'm tired tonight
2nd VS: Well five minutes later we were out the door
and as soon as we got there we hit the floor
My baby she didn't seem to understand
when I told her you dance, I'm tired tonight
Inst solo
You Dance, I'm tired tonight
3rd VS: Well it was one o'clock and my baby was still going strong
four hours straight with no stopping for one song
I was worn out and I couldn't go on
I told her you dance, I'm tired tonight
You dance, I'm tired tonight
You dance, I'm tired tonight
You dance, I'm tired tonight
Tag: You can dance, you can dance, you can dance all night
but I can't, I can't, I'm tired tonight
You can stay till close and dance some more
But I'm tired, I'm done and I'm out the door
(Here we go) You Dance, I'm headin home
(I'm outta here)
