Round and round like a top on speed
relaxing back as strong arms lead,
yesterdays gone into the mist
losing count how many I've kissed,
swept into the future it's true
up above clouds to sapphire blue,
marble floor gleams dance after dance
handsome advances pure romance,
perfumes exotic fill my head
glancing below the road I tread,
dancing on waves dancing on sand
always surprised often unplanned,
around the world I twist and twirl
countries beneath my feet unfurl,
tango's salsa's heat of the night
arms hold me fast rigid and tight,
tasting tequila on my lips
sending messages with my hips,
dervishes whirling in my brain
belly dance action not in vain,
country to country on I dance
never leave anything to chance,
endless waltzes filled with desire
setting my thoughts and dreams on fire.
