John I'm Only Dancing (Again) Lyrics by David Bowie

John I'm Only Dancing (Again)

[Dancing] I'm having so much love
[Dancing] Too bad my back had gone
[Dancing] Boogie down with daddy now
I'd give my house in the country
If you slept, it's so funky
[Music] I'm dancing in the street
[Oooh, music] I've torn my shoes from my feet
[Romancing] It's got me dirty and sweet
It's got you reeling and rocking
Won't you let me slam my thing in

[Falling] I think it's all I can do
[Falling] Just got me feeling it too
[Ooh, falling] Give a little, take a little, give a little back
Jumping John, the great goose has gone
Got a lion on my hand, a Charlie on my back

[John] I'm only dancing
[She turns me on] I'm only dancing
[She turns me on] Ooh, but she moves me
[Don't get me wrong] I-I-I-I-I
[I'm only dancing, ooh-ooh]
[I'm only dancing, ooh-ooh]

[Dancing] Have you heard the news?
[Dancing] President has got the blues
[Dancing] I tell you confidently
If he gives it to you, he'd better take it from me

[Sad sad] I'll pick up your bones
[Sad sad] Leave the numbers alone
[Sad sad] Get off your telephone
Looking people in the eye, tell them "my, oh, my"
Let your backbone slide while you whistle and cry

[John]
[She turns me on]
[She turns me on] love, love, love, we get
[Don't get me wrong] hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I'm only dancing, ooh-ooh
[John] I-I-I-I'm only dancing
[She turns me on]
I-I-I'm only dancing
[She turns me on] I've lost my feet
[Don't get me wrong] I'm off on my way
[I'm only dancing, ooh-ooh] Please dance with me
[I'm only dancing, ooh-ooh] Please dance with me
[I'm only dancing, ooh-ooh]

[Dancing, dancing, dancing, woo, woo, woo]
[Dancing, dancing, dancing, woo, woo, woo]
[Dancing, dancing, dancing, woo, woo, woo]

[Dancing] I'm only
[Dancing] I'm only
[Dancing] I'm only
[Woo, woo, woo]
[Dancing] I'm only
[Dancing] I'm only
[Dancing] I'm only
[Woo, woo, woo]
Can't sing nor hear
I've lost my fear
Cha-Charlie, a dance on
[Woo, woo, woo]
[Woo, woo, woo]
He-he-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, 'cause
[Woo, woo, woo]
You got white light
You got black light
I've got white light
Lay a dance on [woo, woo, woo]
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only
[Woo, woo, woo]
I've got
I've got
[Woo, woo, woo]
[Woo, woo, woo]
[Dancing] Hey
[Dancing] Hey
[Dancing] Hey
[Woo, woo, woo]
Take a dance on me [Dancing]
Lay a dance on me [Dancing]
Lay a dance on me [Dancing]
Hey [Woo, woo, woo]
[Dancing, dancing, dancing, woo, woo, woo]
Gotta give it up [Dancing]
Gotta give it up [Dancing]
Gotta give it up [Dancing]
[Woo, woo, woo]
He-hey [Dancing]
He-hey [Dancing]
[Dancing]
[Woo, woo, woo]
Liking it fine
Making it mine
Liking it fine
Making it mine
Liking it fine
Making it
[I'm only dancing, mmm-hmm]
[I'm only dancing, dancing, I'm only dancing, mmm-hmm]
[I'm only dancing, dancing, I'm only dancing, mmm-hmm]
[I'm only dancing, dancing, I'm only dancing, mmm-hmm]
[I'm only dancing, hey I'm dancing, hey! I'm dancing, mmm-hmm]
Yes I am [I'm only dancing, hey I'm dancing, hey, dancing, mmm-hmm]
Ooh [I'm only dancing, ooh, I'm only dancing, I'm only dancing, mmm-hmm]
