When you pulled up a chair at my table The ladies all looked my way Waiting in anticipation To hang on the words you would say When you spoke You talked high above me As if I could not understand You're moving in on your temptation In the way of an old fashioned man I don't wanna take a dance with you I don't wanna take a chance on you There's so many things I'd rather do Than waste another word on you Why must you take me for granted? Just think of what I could provide Believe me, there's no obligations But I can't stand being denied Forgive me, I just couldn't walk by When I saw you alone in the den I thought you could use a warm body But you're cold and you won't let me in Why won't you take a dance with me? Oh, won't you take a chance on me? There's nowhere else I'd rather be Than trying to win your sweet company
