Original Broadway Cast of The Prom
Dance with You
[EMMA]
I don't want to start a riot
I don't want to blaze a trail
I don't want to be a symbol
Or a cautionary tale
I don't want to be a scapegoat
For people to oppose
What I want is simple
As far as wanting goes

I just wanna dance with you
Let the whole world melt away
And dance with you
Who cares what other people say?
And when we're through
No one can convince us we were wrong
All it takes is you and me
And a song

[ALYSSA]
I don't need a big production
Streamers hanging in the air
I don't need to spend the night
With confetti in my hair
I don't need a room of people
That I don't really know
[EMMA]
I just want to hold you

[BOTH]
And never let you go!

I just wanna dance with you
Let the whole world melt away
And dance with you
Who cares what other people say?
And when we’re through

[EMMA]
No one can convince us we were wrong

[BOTH]
All it takes is you and me
And a song

[MRS. GREENE, spoken]
Alyssa, what are you doing?

[ALYSSA, spoken]
Nothing.​

[MRS. GREENE, spoken]
Get in the car. Now!
[EMMA]
Two people swaying slowly
Nothing more and nothing less
Why anybody fears that
Is anybody's guess

I just wanna dance with you
Let the whole world melt away
And dance with you
Who cares what other people say?
And when we're through
No one can convince us we were wrong
All it takes is you and me
And a song
