Lyrics
I didn’t miss you
When I saw you in the crowd
I knew I had to meet you
Had to shout it out loud
Heard that she broke you
She really let you down
Missed you through those down times
But now you’re back in town
Hey
See you dancin
See you laughin with your friends
If I don’t try
I’ll never know how this ends
Oh no
I’ll never know how this ends
Yeah
Pushin through the bodies
Gonna find my way through
Gonna get up right beside you
Gonna see what you do
Mmmm yeah
Oh yeah
Now I’m closer
Don’t know how it’s gonna go
Can’t be fast
But
Don’t wanna take it slow
Hey
Catch your eye
A little smile
Lookin good
It could take a while
Oh, this could take a while
Pushin through the bodies
Gonna find my way through
Gonna get up right beside you
Gonna see what you do
Hey
I’m right there with you
Boy you smell fine
Drinkin in this knowin feelin
Drivin me outta my mind
Mmm
Drivin me outta my mind
Catch your eye
A little smile
Lookin good
No, this won’t take a while
Got you dancin
Look in those eyes
There aint no hidin
There aint no disguise
Now I got you
I’m never gonna let go
Dancin fast
And now wer’e dancin slow
Yeah
Won’t treat you bad
No, I just never would
I’ll hold you close
It’s gonna be so good
Oh yeah

Many thanks for your comments.
I would hope that the ‘why’ is pretty obvious to be honest.
But then I guess, as the author, what is obvious to me, may not be to the listener.
