Duran Duran - 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 Grande

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…
