Lyrics of Last Dance by Donna Summer
verse
Last dance
Last chance for love
Yes, it′s my last chance
For romance tonight
chorus
I need you by me
Beside me to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
'Cause when I′m bad, I'm so, so bad
So let's dance the last dance
Let′s dance the last dance
Let′s dance this last dance tonight
verse
Last dance
Last chance for love
Yes, it's my last chance
For romance tonight
chorus
Oh, oh, I need you by me
Beside me to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
′Cause when I'm bad, I′m so, so bad
So let's dance the last dance
Let′s dance the last dance
Let's dance the last dance tonight
bridge
Yeah, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Will you be my Mr. Right?
Can you fill my appetite?
I can't be sure that you′re the one for me
All that I ask is that you dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, yeah, yeah
chorus
I need you by me
Beside me to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
′Cause when I'm bad, I′m so, so bad
So let's dance the last dance
Let′s dance the last dance
Let's dance the last dance
Let′s dance the last dance tonight

Oh, oh, I need you by me
Beside me to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
'Cause when I'm bad, I′m so, so bad

So, come on, baby
Dance that dance
Ha! Come on, baby
Dance that dance
Come on, baby
Last dance tonight, yeah
