That wooden gym floor with the lights down low
Hey wallflower boy in the back
Wait for the DJ to play something slow
Walk up to that girl and ask
Ask her to dance
Go on and spin her around the room
And hold her close, hold her as close as she'll let you
Ask her to fly
Go on and take her by the hand
And don't let her go
Cause you'll never know
When the song's gonna end
Look at the chance
Ask her to dance
Kitchen fan spinning over checkerboard tiles
And dinner cooking on the stove
Yeah, there ain't nothing special, just a Tuesday night
Don't waste a minute boy just go
Ask her to dance
Go on and spin her around the room
And hold her close, hold her as close as she'll let you
Ask her to fly
Go on and take her by the hand
And don't let her go
Cause you'll never know
When the song's gonna end
Look at the chance
Ask her to dance
Ask her to dance
In the middle of the rain
In the middle of the fire
In the middle of the day
In the middle of the night
Ask her to dance
Go on and spin her around the room
And hold her close, hold her as close as she'll let you
Ask her to fly
Go on and take her by the hand
And don't let her go
Cause you'll never know
When the song's gonna end
You look at the chance
You look at the chance
Ask her to dance
Go on and spin her and spin her and spin her and spin her around
