Lyrics I Love

So it goes...someone denies you the object of your devotion so the only course of action is to become completely obsessed.

I have to admit that as much time as I spend online, if it isn't on iTunes I find myself at a loss. Such is the state I'm in lately, relegating my sincere love of '60s girl groups and their sugary pop confections to meager playlists on Finetune and Pandora.



One song, in particular, just kills me. And because I'm denied the pleasure of blasting it for the neighbors on loop, I'm forced to swoon here over a centered, italicized ode to the lyrics of Keep on Dancing by The Ronettes.

Little girl, you know that I've been watching you
Trying hard to catch my baby's eye
Since the party started you've been after him
And I can see you wanna steal my guy
And this guy of mine knows what you'll try

So keep on dancin', little girl
Keep on dancin', little girl
Around and around now, little girl
Aeep on dancin', little girl
You're only wastin' time, he's all mine
He loves me
Keep on dancin'
Little girl

If you're gonna take his love away from me
Just because you dance the way you do
Don't you see he hasn't even looked your way
Though you can try until the night is through
But baby, he ain't goin' home with you

So keep on dancin', little girl
Keep on dancin', little girl
Around and around now, little girl
Keep on dancin', little girl
You're only wastin' time, he's all mine
He loves me
Keep on dancin'
Little girl

(Just keep on dancin', c'mon)
ohhhh
(Just keep on dancin', little girl)
oh oh ohhhh
(Just keep on dancin', c'mon)
oh oh ohhh
(Just keep on dancin', little girl)
oh oh ohhh...

I can't believe I've been relegated to actually buying a CD. This is madness.
