Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway
While colour lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance
For fear your grace should fall
Let's dance
For fear tonight is all

Let's sway
You could look into my eyes
Let's sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

    General Comment:If this is the version you like, the Bowie version will probably ruin it for you. It's very 80s and cheesy. Stevie Ray Vaughan plays the guitar solo, but he and Bowie clashed so much that in the video, it's Bowie playing the solo.

    This version is arguably one of the sexiest songs out there. I just picture this married couple, after putting the kids to bed, putting this song on and just dancing in the living room with the lights low. This song is pure romantic love, man.

    General Comment:I first heard this song on the movie "Eagle Vs Shark," and I fell in love with it. I've never heard the original Bowie version, but I'm afraid it'll ruin it for me, judging by the comparisons I've heard.
