Lyrics:

When she asked me to dance
I said, no no 'I have two left feet
And the she took my hand
whispered a song so sweet
And she said, 'Hold me as close as you can
til my bodies on fire
It's just a vertical expression
of horizontal desire

So we moved like water
bein' poured over polished steel
And really can't translate
the way she made me feel
And the music played on
and the mercury just went higher
It's just a vertical expression
of horizontal desire


We did the samba, the mambo
the tango, the two-step
while we romanced
When the music got fast
we just held to each other
and slow danced


I took nothing for granted
but I wished I could stay all night
And as we walked in to her place
she reached out to dim the light

She said, 'Dance with me darlin'
til the moon and the stars retire
It's just a vertical expression
of horizontal desire
It's just a vertical expression
of horizontal desire...
