(1,2,3,4!)

Well, she was just seventeen

You know what I mean

And the way she looked was way beyond compare

So how could I dance with another (Ooh)

When I saw her standing 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)

When I saw her standing there

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)

When I saw her standing there

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

Oh since I saw her standing there

Oh since I saw her standing there
