1. Well she was just seventeen,
if you know what I mean,

And the way she looked
was way beyond compare,
So how could I dance with another,
when I saw her standing there.

2. Well she looked at me,
and I, I could see,
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another,
when I saw her standing there.

R: Well my heart went boom
when I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...
Well we danced through the night,
and we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another,
since I saw her standing there.

R: Well my heart went boom...
since I saw her standing there.
Since I saw her standing there.
Since I saw her standing there.
