Ringo Starr – Can She Do It Like She Dances lyrics

By Steve Duboff and Gerry Robinson

I WAS SITTING AT THE BAR, TALKING TO A LADY FRIEND,
SIPPING ON A GLASS OF WINE AND MAKING TIME, - YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
THEN MY FAVOURITE RECORD PLAYED AND I TURNED TO WATCH THE CROWD,
BUT ONE DANCIN' LADY MADE ME SPILL MY WINE.
SHE LOOKED SO WILD AND SHE LOOKED SO FREE AND SHE MOVED SO TEMPTINGLY,
ALL THE BOYS HAD JUST ONE QUESTION ON THEIR MINDS;

CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS HER,
FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.

(Oo, oo, oo)

AS SHE MOVED AROUND THE FLOOR I KEPT MOVIN' 'ROUND THE BAR,
ALMOST GOT INTO A FIGHT TO KEEP HER IN SIGHT.
WHEN THE DANCE WAS FINALLY THROUGH, FOUND MYSELF EXHAUSTED TOO,
AND I KNEW THAT I'D BE WONDERING ALL NIGHT:

CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS,
AND FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.

SOME GIRLS GET OFF BY PUTTING ON A SHOW,
BUT WHEN YOU GET THEM HOME THE SHOW IS OVER.
WELL, ON THE DANCE FLOOR THERE'S NO MOVE THEY DON'T KNOW,
BUT YOU GET HER ALONE AND HER BODY TURNS TO STONE.

SO I FINISHED UP MY DRINK AND WAS HEADING FOR THE DOOR,
WHEN I SW THAT LADY GIVING ME THE EYE.
WELL, WE DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY AND I'M SEEING HER TODAY
AND I HOPE THAT I WILL FIND OUT BY ON BY:

CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
I SAID, CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
(Can she do it like she dances?)
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS,
AND FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.

CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT,
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT,
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT JUST LIKE SHE DANCES.

OH, COME ON, BABY, DANCE WITH ME ONE TIME,
DANCE WITH ME TWO TIMES,
WELL, IF YOU DANCE WE CAN DO IT ALL OVER THE FLOOR!
(Can she do it like she dances?)
(Can she do it like she dances?)
(Can she do it?)
