Had every little reason
Just to go back home
But the music hit my right
And then you had my soul
I said how'd this even happen?
I thought you moved
And you just looked me in the eye
And put on your dancing shoes
And you said
Be my rhythm and blues
Well I bet you read it in the news
You gotta tell a man twice
Before he really heard what your saying
But you gotta ask nice
See you were hanging on my shoulder
'Bout a quarter of the night
And then you'd taken all you could
Before you put up a fight
And you said
Be my rhythm and blues
The sweet sweat running down my face
All over you
And I know you didn't mind
'Cause you were doing it too
We would dance to the slow songs
And the rock and roll too
And nobody tried to stop us
When they saw those dancing shoes
And they sang
Be my rhythm and blues
Well it was 3 in the morning
When they kicked us outta town
And you left with a smile
You knew that I'd be around
So I could see you again
To sing some rhythm and blues
To see that beautiful smile
And oh your dancing shoes
And you'd say
Be my rhythm and blues
Next time you see me you know what to do
It's hard for a man to make a move on you
Just tell me let's go dance
I bought me some shoes
They look kinda like yours
And I tied them real loose
And You can
Be my rhythm and blues
