I DON'T DANCE WITH STRANGERS
(Jerry Hawkins / Becky Hobbs)


Becky Hobbs - 1994



The band is playin' that old melody
Oh, and it brings back summer nights and good old Texas memories
And I came here to chase away my blues
Oh, and the last thing I expected was to meet someone like you

But I don�t dance with strangers, it�s a dangerous thing to do
I just came here to hear the band and have myself a drink or two
But you�re tall, dark and lonesome, and it�s drivin' me insane
But I don�t dance with strangers, so, honey, what�s your name

Now listen, I ain�t lookin' for romance
Oh, the last thing that my heart needs now is it to take another chance
But what�s the harm in once around the floor
Ooo-oh, and maybe later on we won�t be strangers anymore

'Cause I don�t dance with strangers, it�s a dangerous thing to do
I just came here to hear the band and have myself a drink or two
And you�re tall, dark and lonesome, and it�s drivin' me insane
But I don�t dance with strangers, so, honey, what�s your name

(Instrumental Break)

And you�re tall, dark and lonesome, and it�s drivin' me insane
Yeah, but I don�t dance with strangers, so, honey, what�s your name
Yeah, I don�t dance with strangers, so, honey, what�s your name
