Oh she move like the diva do
i said andquot;iand'd love to dance like youandquot;
she said andquot;just take off my red shoes
put them on and your dreamand'll come true
with no words, with no song
you can dance the dream with your body on
and this curve, is your smile
and this cross, is your heart
and this line, is your path
Oh itand's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
but itand's gonna be no illusion
oh itand's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
but itand's gonna be really happening to ya
really happening to ya
really happening to yaandquot;
Oh the minute i put them on
i knew i had done something wrong
all her gifts for the dance had gone
itand's the red shoes, they canand't stop dancing
and this curve, is your smile
and this cross, is your heart
and this line, is your path
andquot;oh itand's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
but itand's gonna be no illusion
oh itand's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
but itand's gonna be really happening to yaandquot;
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
and she canand't stop and'till them shoes come off
these shoes do, a kind of voodoo
theyand're gonna make her dance and'till her legs fall off
Feel your hair come tumbling down
feel your feet start kissing the ground
feel your arms are opening out
and see your eyes are lifted to god
with no words, with no song
iand'm gonna dance the dream
and make the dream come true
iand'm gonna dance the dream
and make the dream come true
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
and she canand't stop and'till them shoes come off
these shoes do, a kind of voodoo
theyand're gonna make her dance and'till her legs fall off
call a doctor, call a priest
theyand're gonna whip her up like a helicopter
Really happening to ya
really happening to ya
You gotta dance . . .
