| You know the kind of girl spreads mystique
|
| She’ll plant a kiss upon your cheek — whoa
|
| She’s the one the rich boys like
|
| She guards a slingshot from their sight
|
| Now you may call it lack of competence
|
| Here’s my story and my defense
|
| I watched her slowly and I watched her fast
|
| I’ve got to make the moment last
|
| At the dance, (o-o)
|
| You take a chance, o yeah
|
| At the dance (o-o)
|
| A romance, o yeah
|
| So there were seated face to face
|
| The cat and mouse without the chase yeah
|
| And she lifts her smile at me
|
| I stabbed her with stupidity
|
| So I took out a paper and wrote down my name
|
| And she whispered it’s all the same
|
| And so I’m standing here looking dumb but
|
| Ah she took to me, did that girl succumb
|
| At the dance, (o-o)
|
| You take a chance, o yeah
|
| At the dance (o-o)
|
| A romance, o yeah
|
| Went home that night and I climbed the walls, yeah
|
| Left my number for her call
|
| O — but I tell you that they’re all the same
|
| Love you the first night — forget your name
|
| O — what a shame
|
| At the dance, (o-o)
|
| You take a chance, o yeah
|
| Tell you at the dance (o-o)
|
| A romance succumb stabs you
|
| At the dance (o-o, o no)
|
| You take a chance, o yeah
|
| Tell you at the dance, (o-o)
|
| Give me at the dance
|
| O — I live at the dance
|
| That girl is driving me hell now
|
| Now everywhere
|
| At the dance, o-o, o no)
|
| You take a chance
|
| I tried at the dance
|
| I tried my waltz, (o-o)
|
| I tried; |
| I tried my waltz
|
| At the dance (o-o)
|
| Yeah. |
