Lyrics
Went to the club on Saturday night
A new girl was there, she was looking alright
I said "You'd look better with me by your side"
"Better guys than you have tried"
But I couldn't get her out of my mind
But she didn't budge or give me a sign
No matter what she just wasn't impressed
I racked my brain but still no success
I stayed right beside her making my moves
She didn't seem to notice, what could I do?
I shimmied and jived, right next to her
But she kept dancing quite undeterred
At long last I finally banished my gloom
She came so close I could smell her perfume
Thought she whispered into my ear
But the disco'd too loud and I couldn't hear
Next week the same time the same place
She's moving well and such a beautiful face
I played it cool and I didn't stare
Just pretended that I didn't care
I danced on my own, making my moves
Lost in the music deep in the groove
A shimmy and a shaking, song after song
Putting it down and playing it long
At long last she finally banished my gloom
She came so close I could smell her perfume
She whispered right into my ear
"Its high time for us to get out of here"
At long last she finally banished my gloom
She came so close I could smell her perfume
She whispered right into my ear
"Its high time for us to get out of here"
We left the club hand in hand
But things didn't go the way I'd planned
Making out filled me with despair
I came upon something that shouldn't be there
Got out of my car and gave me her card
"Phone anytime and ask for Bernard"
