Song lyrics



Starting at 59 seconds into the video there's these lines:
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feeling good, good, creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon, so keep dancing
I can't stop the feeling

My question is about the line in bold.
Some lyrics sites have it as "All those things I should do to you".

Can someone listen to the video clip and see if it's "shouldn't do" or "should do to you"?

Anonymous Can someone listen to the video clip and see if it's "shouldn't do" or "should do to you"? Actually, it sounds as if there was a bit of sloppy editing of the tape there, but it seems more like 'shouldn't do' to me.

Thank you to Mister Micawber.

Now how would you interpret the line?
Is it "I shouldn't do all those thing"?
Or is it "All those thing that I shouldn't do"?

Mister MicawberWhat's the difference?
I think it's different in structure as well as meaning.
Structurally, the former is a clause whereas the latter is not, the latter being a noun phrase.
Semantically, the former is a statement whereas the latter is not.
No?

Of course, but I supposed your question was about meaning.
