Album Version
I saw him standing there

I saw him standing there

You were just seventeen way beyond compare

Well, he was just seventeen

And you know what I mean

And the way he looked was way beyond compare

I never danced with another

Whoo, when I saw him standing there

Well he looked at me

And I, I couldn't see

That before too long I'd fall in love with him

He never danced with another

Whoo, when I saw him standing there

Well, my heart went boom

As I crossed the room

And I held his hand in mine

Oh, we danced through the night

And we held each other tight

And before too long I fell in love with him

He never danced with another

Whoo, when I saw him standing there

Well, my heart went boom

As I crossed the room

And I held his hand in mine

Oh, we danced through the night

And we held each other tight and

And before too long I fell in love with him

He never danced with another

Whoo, when I saw him standing there

I saw him standing there

Well since I saw him standing there, ow!

I saw you standing there

I saw you standing there

You were just seventeen way beyond compare

I saw you standing there

I saw you standing there

Don't ever dance

Don't ever dance with another

Nobody, nobody

Don't ever dance

Don't ever dance with another

Nobody

I saw him standing there
