I'm putting on my dancing shoes tonight
Ten thousand people waiting for me
I can hear them outside from the curtain I sit behind
The drums kick in and the lights go down
My heartbeat drowns out the sound
My hands go up, I sing my song
And a thousand voices sing along

I used to lay awake
Hear a crowd roar to every word I say
Now the stars, they used to shine so bright
They were all replaced by candlelights
And it all, makes it harder to find the places that we know

I'm putting on my dancing shoes tonight
Ten thousand people waiting for me
I can hear them outside from the curtain I sit behind
The drums kick...

Don't say that word (word), unless you mean it (unless you mean it)
Some things die and it don't come back (back)
Don't say that word (word), if you don't believe it (don't believe it)
There's no tiiiiiime for that (for that)

I'll be gone (be gone)
I'll be gone (be gone)

I don't know why you'd ever say you love me
If you've never been around long enough
I cook us dinner and eat all by myself
Now yeah it's so sad, it's been real tough

Well fuck you, then you say all these sweet things
But never do you ever show me in person
By the time you've realized what you lost (lost)
I'll be gone (gone),...

On my waist, through my hair.
Think about it when you touch me there

Close my eyes, here you are all alone dancing in the dark.
Tell me baby if it's wrong to let my hands do what they want?
Late at night I pretend we are dance-dance-dancing in the dark [repeat]
Ooh la la. [repeat]

When you work on me,
Open my body up and do some surgery,
Now that you got me up
I wanna taste it
And see those pocket aces.
I wanna see who you are.

I got a sex drive to push the start [repeat]
On my waist, through my hair.
Think about it when you touch me there.
Close my eyes, here you are dance-dance-dancing in...
