Lyrics
The lights are dimmed and as I turn
I see you standing, looking so cool
Could before me there be standing a renewal?
I walk over to you and you say 'hi'
Almost right away you smile
But unlike any fool
Instead, you're treating me like a jewel
CHORUS:
Justin, do you feel the way I feel?
Sensitivity you reveal
And my heart is easy to steal
We danced, we danced to every song
Oh, Justin why can't this night last very long?
You would tell me about the pain you've been through
And you would note near tears in my eyes
But lovingly you sympathized
CHORUS REPEAT
You were the one who taught me how to jive
And you, yeah, you kept the spirit of night alive
Many don't see what I see in you
They just do what critics like to do
I don't care all I can see under you
Is who you are
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
