Paroles de May i have this dance?

May i have this dance?
I've been waitin' for this chance
All night long
And this night i'll always treasure
If i could have this pleasure
Of (incomprehensible)

Don't you know i've bit my nails in two
Wantin' to dance with you?
But i was much too shy
I never had the nerve before
'til you'd dance across the floor
With another guy

The way he held you in his arms
With his many charms
I knew my chances were slim
In order to get to you
There's only one thing to do
So i got rid of him

I told him that a girl
By the name of pearl
Was lookin' for him
And when i turned around
He was nowhere to be found
So, here i am

I gotta have this dance
(may i have this dance?)
Honey, i
(may i have this dance?)
Honey, i, honey, i
(may i have? may i have?)
Honey, i, have this dance?
(may i have this dance?)

Honey, i
(may i have this dance with you?)
Gotta have this dance
(may i have this dance?)
(may i have? may i have?)
I
(may i have this dance?)
