Dancing, romancing
But no second chancing
Nothing more
Running and hiding
Slipping and sliding
Across the floor

She comes alone every night
On her own looking for romance
She stands there watching
While everyone's touching
She'd take a chance
Standing there waiting, anticipating

How could this go wrong
So many lovers holding on
How could this go wrong
Another night goes on and on

Now everyone's faking
Hearts have been breaking
Across the floor
He's on the making
She's for the taking
Nothing more
From the look in her eyes
She is desperately searching
For something to say
And as he calls her over
They're getting closer
She'll find a way

Looking for something
Suddenly touching

How could this go wrong
It's what she needed all along
How could this go wrong
And so the night goes on and on

What can she do
The next night he's dancing
With somebody new
While he's forgetting
Will she be regretting
What she let him do

Last night as they lay there
It seemed there was nothing
That she had to lose
Could she be mistaken
Had she been taken
Again like a fool
When she gave him everything
It never meant a thing

How could this go wrong
She thought he loved her all along
How could this go wrong
And so the night goes on and on

Dancing, romancing
No second chancing
Across the floor
He's on the making
She's for the taking
Nothing more

Still she comes alone
Every night on her own
Looking for romance
She stands there watching
While everyone's touching
She'd take a chance

Standing there waiting
Anticipating
Looking for something
Suddenly touching
How could this go wrong
She thought he loved her all along
How could this go wrong
So many lovers holding on

How could this go wrong
She thought he loved her all along
How could this go wrong
And so the night goes on and on
