[Part I]
[Intro: Future]
Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …
[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to brush it off my …
I’ll never settle down,
That’s what I always thought
Yeah, I was that kind of man,
Just ask anyone1
I don’t dance, but here I am
Spinning you around and around in circles2
It ain’t my style, but I don’t care
I’d do anything with you anywhere3
Yes, you got me in the palm of your hand4
‘Cause, I don’t dance5
Love’s never come my way,
I’ve never been this far
‘Cause you took these two left feet
And waltzed away with my heart6
No, I don’t dance, but here I am
Spinning you around and around in circles
It ain’t my style, but I don’t care
I’d do anything with you anywhere
Yes, you got me in the palm of your hand, girl
‘Cause, I don’t dance
No, I don’t dance
I don’t dance, but here I am
Spinning you around and around in circles
It ain’t my style, but I don’t care
Well I’d do anything with you anywhere
I don’t dance, but here I am
Spinning you around and around in circles
It ain’t my style, but I don’t care
I’d do anything with you anywhere
Yeah, you got me in the palm of your hand, girl
‘Cause, I don’t dance
No, ooh7
0Lee Brice believes he would always be ruggedly independent. He wasn’t prepared for a life of monogamy.
Love changed the course of Lee Brice’s life. He now finds himself a different person with different interests, all as a result of falling in love.
Love has no regard for our personalities. We begin behaving in shameless ways when we are in love.
“You got me in the palm of your hand” means “you have control over me” or “you’ve got me wrapped around your finger.”
Dancing is a metaphor for the things Lee Brice wouldn’t normally do had he not fallen in love.
The waltz is a type of dance. Lee Brice is trying to say that although he’s not a good dancer (both literally and figuratively), his beloved has swept him off his feet and made him into a new man through the power of love.
“I Don’t Dance” is a song about how love changes people and opens them up to new experiences. Lee Brice certainly feels that the power love has over his life is quite extreme.
