Lyrics

I've been coming in here, nearly a year
Watching the cowboys dance
I like 'em short or tall, big or small
That's right - I'm here for romance

I've been having a ball watching 'em all
Sometimes they put me in a trance
A tight pair of jeans makes him a dream
'Cause I Love a Man Who Can Dance

Hold on tight - It's allright
'Cause I'm in the mood for romance
Just give me a whirl, and I'll be your girl
Don't need a white horse or a lance

Honey, don't be afraid, you've got it made
Yeah, you've got more than a chance
A two-step or shuffle beats any hustle
'Cause I love a man who can dance
