I guess I just wasn't made in His image (Made in His image)
Push me past my limits, granted all your wishes
Died for you, but I wasn't forgiven (Wasn't forgiven)

[Chorus]
"Ballerina, won't you dance for me?

Ballerina, cry your eyes out

Dance, d-d-d-d— (But you're still gonna)
Dance, d-d-d-d—
Dance, d-d-d-d— (But you're still gonna)
Dance, d-d-d-d— (Ballerina, won't you dance for me?)
(Lost your head, but, God, it's perfect) Dance, d-d-d-d— (But you're still gonna)
Dance, d-d-d-d— (Ballerina, baby, can't you see?)
Dance, d-d-d-d— (It'll kill you, but it's worth it)
[Outro]
