[Verse 1]
I'm a moon-walker
I'm like MJ up in the clouds
I know it sounds awkward
I'm filthy as charged, filthy as charged
You're a sweet talker
But darlin' whatcha gonna say now?
The midnight marauders
The higher never come down, never come down
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
I'm still uninvited, I'm still gonna light it
I'm going insane and I don't care
(Whatever they tell you...)
[Chorus]
Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime
Unless you do it without me
Unless you do it without me
Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime
Unless you do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it without me
Without me
[Verse 2]
And if you're night crawlin' with him
I won't take it lying down
I've got a few lawyers
And you're guilty as charged, guilty as charged
We could be waltzin', yeah
But darlin' don't be throwing shade now
Don't call me Saint California if you're at another altar
Just gimme your vows, gimme your vows, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, anywhere
I'm still uninvited, I'm still gonna light it
I'm going insane and I don't care
(Whatever they tell you...)
[Chorus]
Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime
Unless you do it without me
Unless you do it without me
Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime
Unless you do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it without me
Without me
[Bridge]
Oooh oooh oooh, what's come over you?
Baby, just tell me now
Ooo ooo ooo, won't we make that move
'Cause I just wanna be
Your boyfriend girlfriends, oh yeah
And I just wanna be
Your boyfriend girlfriends, oh yeah, oh yeah
(Whatever they tell you...)
[Last Chorus]
Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime
Unless you do it without me
Unless you do it without me
Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime
Unless you do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it without me
Without me
Do it, do it, do it without me
Without me
Without me
Without me...
This song is about him wanting to be with someone and trying to get them to not be afraid because he wants to be "your boyfriend/girlfriend oh yeah". He doesn't want them to be afraid or feel awkward but just to let loose and have fun with him cause now is the time. He also wants them to know that it's not a crime to dance or have fun because that's the whole purpose unless you do it without him. So just dance because again"dancing's, dancing's not a crime unless you do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, without me" which the only exception (don't do it without him).
