LYRICS:
They say oh my god I see the way you shine
Take your hands my dear and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Ohhh I
See you see you seen you every time
and oh my I, I like you style
You, you make me make me make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Oh oh oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say
Move for me
Move for me
Move for me
Eh eh eh
And when you’re done i'll make you do it all again

I said
Oh my god I see you walking by
Take my hands my dear and look me in my eyes
Just like a monkey I’ve been dancing my whole life
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time
Ooh I
See you see you seen you every time
And oh my I, I like your style
You, you make me make me make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Oh oh oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say
Move for me
Move for me
Move for me
Eh eh eh
And when you’re done i'll make you do it all again
They say
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say
Move for me
Move for me
Move for me
Eh eh eh
And when you’re done i'll make you do it all again

Oooooo

They say
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Oh oh oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say
Move for me
Move for me
Move for me
Eh eh eh
And when you’re done i'll make you do it all again
They say
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I’ve never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say
Move for me
Move for me
Move for me
Eh eh eh
And when you’re done i'll make you do it all again
All again

[tyger]

That's crazy how this song can be sad and full of fun

[aotearoaidol]

Nobody realises how beautiful her voice actually is when she holds back and takes the treble down a few notches she actually has technically a superior voice to most female singers. This performance showcases some of those pure notes without the husky scream or forceful expulsion of air it's absolutely beautiful

[ajf]

Her vocal agility and range is out of this world. How her voice is rasp but sounds so pure is just beautiful.. definately going in my all time favourite singers

[nuraa]

And it’s still so hard to believe that this is her real voice

[ChefDave]

I didnt go into details about this song, but now im impressed that its an actual person singing it. Thought its a computer made stuff. Shes got such a special voice. I love it.

[scottwiggins]

I feel this song is the epitome of a fake smile you put on for others when the pain inside is overflowing

[Homenutt]

Such a beautiful running shot. It makes the song more powerful.

[KBJ]

She has that witch type of voice (like Sia) and it's good.

[alessandrapiano]

I THOUGHT THAT THE VOICE IN THE SONG WAS AUTOTUNED I'M SPEECHLESS- LIKE...DAMN.

[justinselk]

My exes kids loved this song. I cry every time i liste. They were my life

[rinzybest]

Now it sounds so sad I feel like crying😭😭😭

[henniefourie]

With a voice like that, she is here to stay.

[Dwarvenism]

Legends say that the cameraman is still circling that piano to this day.

[CREATE]

It makes me sad to see her hide herself in this video. You got it going on girl, be yourself. I hope with the movement of social media, that we are starting to see, we are not all created skinny and gorgeous, but it's about what mark you have to share with the world, that makes you special and beautiful. We all have something to share that's amazing, so lets stop looking for a certain "type", or else we will miss so much in this world. How many great talents or even just friendships have we passed up on, because someone didnt have the "look". Stop already ppl. Let's just be our best, authentic selves, and F the rest!

[babyfazejuju]

This makes me look at the song in a whole different light altogether. Holy crap, what a piano and voice can do. Those vocal fries and raspiness is everything x

[edenswan]

Makes me wanna dance and cry at the same time. Amazing energy in her voice. I can't stop listening to this .

[rockleveson]

She doesn't need autotune, autotune needs her.

[GLITTER_GUTS]

I said OH MY GOD I love this song

I ADORE YOU

[mohdfairuzyazzer]

I don’t know why i feel sad when listening to this song. She sang it with her whole heart and soul.

[Micrig]

She has a normal voice when she speaks. She has a unique voice for her songs and I like the way she sings
