[Verse 1]
I hear people laughing on the corner by the square
The neon flickers on my wall and I know you're out there
I'm in your bed and listening for your footsteps down the hall
And I'll be waiting for you after the ball

[Chorus]
After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you, after the ball

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Loving you is sweet addiction, I need only you
Just as long as you come back, go do what you want to do
Give the night your laughter but I'll have you after all
I'll be waiting for you, after the ball

[Chorus]
After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you, after the ball
After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you, after the ball
