Audra McDonald
I Double Dare You
If I should say the night is grand
Would you demand a proof?
Or would you be indifferent and aloof?
You seem to think that half aloof is better than none
So maybe that's the reason we're not having any fun

I double dare you to sit over here
I double dare you to lend me your ear
Take off your high hat and let's get friendly
Don't be a scare cat
Say, what do you care? Can't you take a dare?
I double dare you to kiss me, and then
I double dare you to kiss me again
And if that look in your eyes means what I'm thinkin' of
I double dare you to fall in love with me
I double dare you

If I should try to read your mind
Would I be up a tree?
I wish I knew just what you think of me
Oh, you appear to be so shy
So, henceforth I speak
Please pardon my presumption
I hate playing hide-and-seek

I double dare you to sit over here
I double dare you to lend me your ear
Take off your high hat and let's get friendly
Don't be a scare cat
Say, what do you care? Can't you take a dare?
I double dare you to kiss me, and then
I double dare you to kiss me again
And if that look in your eyes means what I'm thinkin' of
I double dare you to fall in love with me
I double dare you
