Rio Lyrics

Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise

 Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice

 With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west

 You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

 

 Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

 Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

 And when she shines she really shows you all she can

 Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

 I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV

 Two of a billion stars it means so much to me

 Like a birthday or a pretty view

 But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

 

 Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

 Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

 And when she shines she really shows you all she can

 Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

 Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down

 At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive

 You make me feel alive, alive alive

 I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something

 I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking

 

 Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

 Just like that river twists across a dusty land

 And when she shines she really shows you all she can

 Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand

 Her name is Rio she don't need to understand

 And I might find her if I'm looking like I can

 Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land

 From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

 Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
