The song "Come Dance With Me" by Jay & The Americans was released in 1962. It tells the story of a man who sees a woman at a gathering or party who is being pursued by another man. The singer expresses his desire for the woman to choose him as her dance partner instead. In the lyrics, the singer encourages the woman not to turn away and ignore him but to put the other man down and turn around to dance with him. He insists that she should listen to him and tell the other man "no" and dance with him instead. The singer acknowledges that the other man may have brought her to the event, but tries to convince her that he is the better choice. He states that he will swing her around the dance floor and that she should trust him instead of the other man. The singer also suggests that just because the other man has spent money on her or made an effort to impress her, it doesn't give him the right to "own" her. He believes he is more deserving and wants her to choose him. Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes his willingness to wait for her decision, stating that he will sit and wait until she chooses to dance with him. He assures her that he is not the type of guy who would steal another man's girl, but he confesses that he is captivated by her and needs her to dance with him. Ultimately, the song conveys the singer's desire for the woman to leave the other man behind and choose him as her dance partner and potentially more. It portrays a romantic and competitive situation where the singer believes he is the better option for the woman.
