Well, she was just 17, You know what I mean, And the way she looked was way beyond compare. So how could I dance with another (ooh) And I saw her standin' there.
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see That before too long I'd fall in love with her. She wouldn't dance with another (whooh) And I saw her standin' there.
Chorus: Well, my heart went "boom," When I crossed that room, And I held her hand in mine...
Whoah, we danced through the night, And we held each other tight, And before too long I fell in love with her. Now I'll never dance with another (whooh) Since I saw her standing there
