Dancing with Someone (A Whitney Houston Post)

Did you know that I love to dance?  I love to dance.  When I was a little girl I would listen to the radio.  I loved music.  I loved to dance to the music and in my head, I would envision myself in my own versions of a music video.  I'm the one who goes out first on the dance floor and you have to pay me to get off. 

When I was in college, I had this boyfriend.  He was my favorite to dance with.  He made sure that I was the only one he danced with at the parties.  When I met Santi, he would leave me to dance with my friends.  He would come to me to dance maybe once or twice.  This being said, we are going in the Whitney vault and pulling out "I Wanna Dance with Somebody."  The lyrics are as follows:

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away(Because when the night comes, that's when the bad thoughts tend to come for some people.)
I've done alright up to now (I think that I have done phenomenally!!!)
It's the light of day that shows me how (The light of God too!)
And when the night falls, loneliness calls  (Yes.  Maybe...)

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends (Nothing like the high of love, right?)
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last (Wouldn't that be nice?)
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Somebody oo Somebody oo
Somebody who loves me yeah
Somebody oo Somebody oo
To hold me in his arms oh
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Don'tcha wanna dance with me baby
Dontcha wanna dance with me boy
Hey Don'tcha wanna dance with me baby
With somebody who loves me

Don'tcha wanna dance say you wanna dance
Don'tcha wanna dance
Don'tcha wanna dance say you wanna dance
Don'tcha wanna dance
Don'tcha wanna dance say you wanna dance
With somebody who loves me
Dance
