Midler, Bette - Do You Want To Dance? Lyrics
Do you wanna dance, and hold my hand?
Tell me you're my lover man.
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
We could dance under the moonlight,
Oh baby, tell me, do you wanna dance with me baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby?
Ah, that's right, ah, ah, aaaaaaaah.
Do you want to dance under the moonlight?
Hug me, kiss me, baby, all through the night.
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, tell me, do you want to dance?
Oh, do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby?
You got to dance with me baby.
Please dance with me baby
additional lyrics from the quadrophonic version
Tonight you, you got to
dance with me baby.
Please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
dance with me baby.
Please, you got to . . .

For those wondering, the other musicians are backing vocalists Cissy Houston, Beverly McKenzie, Deirdre Tuck, Renelle Broxton, and Renelle Stafford; bassist Ron Carter; drummer Ray Lucas; percussionist Ralph MacDonald; and pianist Barry Manilow.
I don't know how I came across this song on the radio once. So happy to hear this again. The music just beautifully transports me to a different time and place. This music is just insanely good!
What a beauty! Ends too soon.
The 70's - that's all I gotta say...

Soft,sultry ....and so seductive.!

My absolute favorite version
The best version of this song by far
ken Burke can do this version.too, trust him his guitar was fierce to the stone of fire. iean fyaaaaaah !🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
studios 54 And Peabody's London and New York Bette Midler
I remember this 70s classic. I was 14 when this came out.
Give me cliff 's version any time...
I played this over and over again when it came out. I still have the album.
Love singing this track
I still have the album.
Let's get it baby!! Who wants to join me ... Dance .....
I walked around singing this all the time as a teenager and thought it was the sexiest song i'd ever heard [for as much as an innocent teenager can know what sexy is]
Bette Midler can ruin any song she tries. Try the version from the Ramones.
sing it, Bette<3
Recently pulled this CD out. It is front and center right now. Do You Want To Dance....occasionally I get past the opening song to the other incredible songs on her debut album, but this song in particular is mesmerizing, heart stopping and such a treat to hear this many years later.
This was one of my Grandma's favorite songs and I was BORN in 1972 and I STILL LISTEN TO THIS SONG TODAY!!!!...
I adore and love this song...timeless piece.
I just heard The Beatles slaughter this song. I know it was John Lennon singing it. Could've been a solo cover, but it was horrible. This is the way I remember the song. 😁
BETTE YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT .FINE AND MULTITALENTED LADY ARTIST . I ADMIRE AND RESPECT YOU SO MUCH .THANK GOD THAT
I KNEW YOU IN MY LIFE SPAN . TKS FOR POSTING hello from mexico
Such a sharp sexy song.Bette what a Beauitful voice
The original mermaid 💕loved watching the Divine Miss M , her show and characters , standing up for love , gay rights , AIDs ( I lost a most beloved cousin to AIDs) , she and Johnny Carson , cleaning up the Hudson River , etc. I caught a glimpse of Sophie in Vegas last week. I'm glad she was/still a role model for so many of us discovering humanity , all of the other stuff leaving a big chunk of childhood behind. What a voice! What a woman!
Do you wanna dance, and hold my hand?
Tell me you're my lover man.
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
We could dance under the moonlight,
Hug and kiss all through the night.
Oh baby, tell me, do you wanna dance with me baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby?
Ah, that's right, ah, ah, aaaaaaaah.
Do you want to dance under the moonlight?
Hug me, kiss me, baby, all through the night.
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, tell me, do you want to dance?
Oh, do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance?
Do you want to dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to dance with me baby?

Não canso de escutar essa música mulher maravilhosa cantar em♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Eu amei de paixão demais essa música queria ver a tradução e tão linda essa música meu deus que mulher maravilhosa em essa cantora né gente? ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Bette makes me cry....the good cry!!!
First song I loved. The original Mermaid.
Old time favorites of mine do you want to dance bet her at her bet
Bette Midler at her best
Yes Bette Yes...
Wow, she did this right!!!
A memorial Tune that will get better with age.
To bad that Bette Midler couldn't extend the length of this beautiful tune.
Wish it was 1972 again.
Love this song
Man, I remember when this song was on the radio. I was in high school and none of my friends liked it but I could never hear it enough. (Didn't have any money to buy the album and my brother's certainly wouldn't have given up the record player to hear this.) What an awesome song! This song invokes longing of wanting to be loved (especially for a lonely teenager).
I miss being young & stupid, BUT at least the songs were AWESOME, like this !!!
IT AINT BRAGGIN IF YOU CAN DELIVER . JUST ASK BETTE MIDLER ABSOLUTELY RUGGED !!!
This song compels some good, warm young memories, all loving!
a classic arranged by the GREAT THOM BELL !!!
Only thing wrong here is that it doesn't last long enough. Given that she's making love to the song you'd think she'd want it to.
The song definitely could have gone longer but it is still wonderful. I always wish it did not end so soon.
the Divine Miss M at her best
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another good memory hanging out at the pothole. Don't forget drinking age was 18, I think I was 16, but dancing g to this all night. Very sad memories see I am from Hoboken and most of that bar gang is deceased . This one is for all you people who are gone but never forgotten
I own this beautiful vinyl .
My absolute favorite ever!
My favorite version
She reminds me of Carole King here.
Yes the divine miss m.
Blue eyed soul!
BETTE MIDLER ONE NAME SAYS IT ALL FROM SMALL TO TALL !!
tears and emotions
wow, Wow, WOW! So full of soul and it flows from soft, romantic whispers to POWER PACKED pizazz... always delivered with that sexy, raspy caliber that makes Miss M divine - AND she's fu*king funny to boot! She makes my day, everyday!
A cover like this, which has an original arrangement, adds something to the original song.
This was originally a fast-paced rock-n-roll song done by Bobby Freeman in 1958. What you hear,here musically(aside from Bette's stellar vocals),is the work of Barry Manilow....and what brilliant work it is!! He was with her for about 4 years,as her music director,,,,and he produced this album for her,as well as "Bette Midler At Carnagie Hall". The arrangement,orchestration,and instrumentation is all his,done to suit her singing style....it's fabulous!!
They said Thom Bell arranged this.
I was 7 years old when my moms put this on the turntable for the first time....the moment she and Barry/band laid down for this track is timeless....capturing.....this is the first time I ever fell in love with a female singer....I crushed on this like you wouldn't believe
Simply wonderful sound
Wow, what a great version. Who's responsible for the arrangement? I had no idea it was the same song that Cliff Richard recorded. My mum used to play Bette Midler LPs heaps when I was a kid. Melbourne doesn't really have an oldies radio station any more, so I have to come here to hear good stuff like this.
Vincent Wigglewoggle The great THOM BELL arranged the strings and horns. BARRY MANILOW did the rhythm arrangement. CISSY HOUSTON handled the background vocal arrangement.
Thanks "KG"...I miss comments on a frequent basis but, I do try to respond when I see them but, some do slip past...Thanks again!!!!
Thanks. Interesting. I love this version
Not a one could "touch" that whole album! She ruled the whole concept and artist with Barry Manilow.
Barry arranged many of her songs but not this one.
Still knocks me out, 40 years later
ihavegiantunderwear AH the old soulful fun dirty & funky NYC b4 Disney & big money sucked its soul dry! 😖 Thanks 4 the memory 🙏🏼
Takes me to a wonderful place.
Yes it does take you to another place!!!
@Charrie Greenwood And it only sounds better as the years roll on..
@Margaret
So sensual and real without being vulgar,,
Same here :)))
I knew their was a best version of this song...took me a moment to find it...she is so amazing
Hope your dancing with someone special always if not I DANCE WIRH MY DOG AND MEEEE
Best version.
I looked for this version cause I agree with you...
check the mamas and the papas one, it's pretty damn good too!
I hear this song and the Firehouse on Wooster Street is alive and well again, before AIDS decimated our great community. After a long night of Gloria Gaynor never saying goodbye, Bonnie Bramlett boasting how she was crazy 'bout her baby and Dorothy Morrison wailing that the clouds in the sky was threatening rain, the house lights would come up indicating that another Saturday night had come to an end and we would obediently walk behind Rollerena and Marcia P Johnson as they led us all into the night and to the piers along the West Side Highway, Miss M's DO YOU WANT TO DANCE? our processional hymn. Thanks for bringing back some very good memories...
perfect
Bette Midler is a triple threat! She can sing, she can act, and she's a funny comedian!
she started in the baths in NYC...the best of the best...
@Sara Allison Not a fan of her personally but she nails this song.
@ Ms Allison, ugly to you, not me
Amen to that, Shirley!!!!!!!!!!
That's an old song it's bad Hahahaahha and it's not even interesting
Paul Boni no taste, jackass!!!!!!!!
Vincent Windeuycker I don't recall writing this comment, my little sister did, I myself would never think such thin about this music, sorry for the misunderstanding, and please, do not insult me.
Tell me your my lover man ..........do you want 2 dance !! Sighhhhhh
