The version on The Chocolate Invasion is far superior.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

These are from the former DTT site. As with all of those transcriptions, they are left incomplete where the team could not determine lyrics


The Dance


I don't wanna give U my love

Cuz I don't wanna lose my mind

I don't wanna give U my love

Cuz if I do it's gonna be the last time

Ooh, ooh, ooh


Cuz I never want 2 feel this way again

If I can't be your lover

I don't wanna be your friend, no

I don't wanna be friends, no

Ooh, ooh


I don't wanna hold your hand, no (I don't wanna hold your hand)

Cuz I would just follow U everywhere, oh

I don't wanna see U dance (I don't wanna see U, girl)

Cuz I don't even really want 2 take the chance

Of fallin' in love with U, baby


If U ever said those beautiful words 2 me

"If I wanna be your fantasy," yes

I wanna dance, yes

Let's dance, sugar

Ooh ooh ooh, oh

I don't wanna give U my love

Oh baby, this must be temptation

Cuz I just can't get U off my mind

I try and try

But when I close my eyes

I see U every time


I don't wanna go 2 fast, ooh

Cuz if I do I just might stay (Stay with me)

I'd stay with U baby (Yeah)

I guess I better make it last (Make it last)

The longer that I feel this way (The longer that U feel this way, girl)

Ooh oh


Cuz I never want 2 feel this way again

If I can't be your lover

I don't wanna be your friend, no

I don't wanna be friends, no


I don't wanna give U my love, oh honey, baby (No no no)

Baby, r U gonna really just stand there

And act like U don't want this?

Baby, if U do then U know I just don't care

Oh baby, I could find another

Just like U anywhere

Oh baby, they might not have your hips, girl

And all that pretty hair, oh

At least they won't spend all day in the mirror

Tryin' 2 find somethin' 2 wear

At least, they won't wanna make love

Like U do on the stairs, against the pole on the north corner of the...

Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, it's just not fair

It's just not fair!

Oww!

They replaced The Dance with My Medallion on TIDAL if I'm not mistaken.

In fact it is the original, unreleased tracklist of the album as intended for the TCI boxset. I suspect this Tidal thing is a mistake but I'm grateful for it biggrin

I don't remember the other one and I can't find it right now, but I'm pretty sure the reason why is because I love the 3121 version best and kicked the other to the curb.

3121 version for me. Never liked the first version and was disapointed to see it appearing on the 3121 tracklist. Then I heard the 3121 version. Awesome.

RIP sad

Yeah I'm very down with the 3121 version. It's an awesome song in either released versions, but the 3121 version is so incredibly seductive, and amazing how he got a song with such potent sensibilities paring it up with that...I'd call it a 1960's cabaret sound, not sure what to call it. But as a ballad I think it really stands out even compared to his other ballads.

Minds would have truly been blown had this been a Garth Brooks cover. I mean blown in the Scanners movie way.
