Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you

And what it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to 
A      G         A       E 
E 
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night) 
A      G         A       E

Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite) 
A      G         A       E

Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand 
A      G         A       E                E       E      E

I don't know if you're looking for romance or 
                                 E  
I don't know what you're looking for 
E                                          G 
I said I bet that you look good on the dancefloor 
                    A                      A

I wish you'd stop ignoring me, because it's sending me to despair 
A       G          A        E                  A       G     A       E 
E 
Without a sound, yeah, you're calling me, and I don't think it's very fair 
A       G          A        E 
E 
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)

Dirty dancefloors, and dreams of naughtiness!
