The Dance Class Lyrics

I'm lookin' out my window
Well, all that I can tell is
That's you over there
In the dance class

I'm peekin' out a window now
It's late, gettin' dark out
That's you right there
In the dance class

I'm wishin' I could leave my house
But it's been years since I went out
You're so far over there
In your dance class

I am in love with whoever you are
Whoever you are
I am in love with whoever you are

I gotta sort of problem, see
Please come to me
How could you know?
You were in the dance class

I am the crazy man
Hangin' out his window, wavin' his hands
Tryin' to get you to notice me
After your dance class

I am in love with whoever you are
Whoever you are
I am in love with whoever you are

I am in love with whoever you are
Whoever you are
I am in love with whoever you are

Hang inside off the window ledge
I'm here on edge
Tryin' to make it with a beautiful girl
That I got no chance with in the dance class

In the dance class
In the dance class
Yeah, that I got no chance with in the dance class

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
