Don't Make Me Dance With You

“I don’t dance. I reposition.”

Sure you do. And that left foot is apparently conducting independent negotiations.

Don’t Make Me Dance With You is a playful duet about two people with perfectly good plans—

until they start smiling at each other.

He has a reputation to protect. She wore those shoes for dancing. Between the teasing, the missed steps, and an escape plan that never stood a chance, something warmer starts taking the lead.

“I can sing above the whole band.

Still got nervous saying hi.”

That’s where this song finds its heart: underneath the swagger, two people are taking a chance on being themselves together.

A little left.

A little right.

A little less pretending.

For kitchen-floor chemistry, dance-night butterflies, and that person who makes you forget your very convincing reasons to stay seated.

“Still don’t dance?”

“Not with everybody.”
