| Tonight she dances all alone
|
| She sways, and the jukebox plays on and on It’s into the music she’s gone.
|
| Someone let her down, oh, I understand
|
| Me, I’d be happy just holdin' her hand
|
| People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance.
|
| Oh, I wonder what I could say
|
| A word, to help take the hurt away
|
| I feel what she feels as she sways.
|
| Someone let her down, oh, I understand
|
| Me, I’d be happy just holdin' her hand
|
| People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance.
|
| --- Instrumental ---
|
| Her eyes, I see a teardrop fall
|
| Her dream was only a dream, that’s all
|
| She turns her face to the wall.
|
| Someone let her down, oh, I understand
|
| Me, I’d be happy just holdin' her hand
|
| People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance.
|
| Lots of things in life break a heart in two
|
| Sometimes, just dancing’s the best we can do People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance… |
