I'm Happy Just To Dance With You

Release date: 20 August 1964

Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too,
I'm so happy when you dance with me.

I don't want to kiss or hold your hand,
If it's funny, try and understand.
There is really nothing else I'd rather do,
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.

I don't need to hug or hold you tight,
I just wanna dance with you all night.
In this world there's nothing I would rather do,
Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.

Just to dance with you is ev'rything I need.
Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too,
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place,
let's pretend we just can't see his face.
In this world there's nothing I would rather do,
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.

Just to dance with you is ev'rything I need.
Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too,
I'm so happy when you dance with me.

If somebody tries to take my place,
let's pretend we just can't see his face.
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
I've discovered I'm in love with you.
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
