Lyrics
She Has To Dance
She's got a reputation on the local scene
She likes a little Temptations and a lot of Al Green
She needs a 4/4 tempo with a medium beat
It gives her better ideas what to do with her feet
She's just a soccer mom in a one-horse town
She's had a busy day but when the kids go down
She has to dance
Leave her alone
There ain' no tv workin' or a telephone
There is a little steam risin' but it's good for the plants
She's in a world of her own
When she has to dance
She's got a big thick carpet to protect her knees
She's got an iPod loaded with her mp3s
She favors Chubby Checker and some INXS
She loves a Motown number and The Isleys best
There's still some Stax-Volt magic not far behind
She lets her mind go blank when its Hammer Time
She has to dance
Leave her alone
There ain' no tv workin' or a telephone
And when there's no one sleepin'
She turns up the amp
She's in a world of her own
When she has to dance
Solo
Bridge
There are two James Taylors', doin' their thang
But she likes the one in Kool and the Gang
She has to dance
Leave her alone
There ain' no tv workin' or a telephone
She'd be Jennifer Beals if she had the chance
She's in a world of her own
When she has to dance
