Lyrics
Dancing With Dakota
Oh, oh, oh-- oh, oh, oh--
VERSE:
She called herself Dakota, she danced at Solid Gold.
With two kids and no money, she had to work the pole.
Eddie was an engineer, he hadn't kissed a girl in years.
Dakota took him by the hand, for his first private dance.
CHORUS:
He's dancing with Dakota,
And his blood is running hot,
For three amazing minutes
Until the music stops.
He's dancing with Dakota
In the back room of the club.
To her it's just a job,
But to him it feels like love
Oh oh, Dakota.
VERSE:
He comes back almost every night, he's sure that this is real.
He's just another customer, but that's not how he feels.
He wants to take her on a date, red wine, candles and a steak.
He imagines he's her man, but he pays for every dance.
CHORUS:
He's dancing with Dakota,
And his blood is running hot,
For three amazing minutes
Until the music stops.
He's dancing with Dakota
In the back room of the club.
To her it's just a job,
But to him it feels like love.
BRIDGE:
Eddie bought two tickets for a show,
Dakota said, "I'm sorry, I can't go.
"You know I really like you, but let me make this clear,
"We've got something special, but it only works in here."
LAST CHORUS:
He still dances with Dakota,
Even though it's not the same.
Outside the club he's no one,
But Dakota knows his name.
He's dancing with Dakota
In the back room of the club.
To her it's just a job,
But to him it felt like love.
Oh, oh, Dakota, oh, oh Dakota,
Oh oh Dakota.
