Well she was just seventeen, you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another, oh when I saw her standing there

Well she looked at me and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another, oh when I saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night and we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another, oh when I saw her standing there
