Lyrics

VENUS AND MARS (or... We Should Be Dancing)

Verse 1
Your country smile melted me 'till I was gone
Like an ice cream bar, a shooting star, now it might be wrong
To fall in love with a boy like you
Cause we're from different worlds
You're rawhide ropes and rodeos
And I'm a string of pearls
Thinking...

Chorus
We should be dancing
'neath the moon and stars and...
Let a little love light
Shine on Venus and Mars

Verse 2
I showed my Mom, the ring and she said "Child I pray
The zodiac's, not out of whack, on your wedding day"
Well the preacher smiled at my bare feet
Beside your cowboy boots
And when the band began to play
I whispered up to you...
Honey...

Chorus
We should be dancing
'neath the moon and stars and...
Let a little love light
Shine on Venus and Mars

Bridge
Still out of step with one another after all this time
But every once in a while they say those...
Planets align

Instrumental Half Chorus

Verse 3
You slide across, the kitchen floor, in your white socks
The kids are gone, there's music on, and the door is locked
That country smile is dangerous
You gotta twinkle in your eye
You lift my hands out of these suds
And catch me by surprise...
Singing...

Chorus (this chorus sung and played softly)
We should be dancing
'neath the moon and stars and...
Let a little love light
Shine on Venus and Mars

Chorus
Yeah we should be dancing
'neath the moon and stars and...
Let a little love light
Shine on Venus and Mars

Tag
We should be dancing
never thought I'd see the day [SPOKEN LINE]
Let a little love light
Shine on Venus and Mars

Oooh, we're dancing
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Oooh, we're dancing
Shine on Venus and Mars
