When asked by Billboard magazine why he recorded the song, Strait responded: I felt I had such a relaxed melody and rhythm, so to speak, and I also loved the lyrics, especially the line ‘That’s what they intended to dance ‘I think I changed it to’ That’s what they invented the dance ‘, but I ended up saying both things in the song It’s little things like that, little things that are so simple but so intelligent that they really make a song.

George Strait – I Just Want to Dance with You Lyrics
I don’t want to be the kind to hesitate,
Be too shy, wait too late
I don’t care what they say other lovers do,
I just want to dance with you.
I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine,
So let it show, let it shine.
If we have a chance to make one heart of two,
I just want to dance with you.
[Chorus:]
I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That’s what they intended dancin’ for,
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
That’s what they invented dancin’ for,
I just want to dance with you.
I caught you lookin’ at me when I looked at you,
Yes I did, ain’t that true?
You won’t get embarrassed by the things I do,
I just want to dance with you.
Oh the boys are playin’ softly and the girls are too,
So am I and so are you.
If this was a movie, we’d be right on cue,
I just want to dance with you.
[Chorus]
I just want to dance with you,
I just want to dance with you,
I just want to dance with you.
