Late night call
And she s at your door
Teenage tears
On the kitchen floor
I pull you close and hold my breath
Feel your heart beat through your summer dress
Shuffle our feet slowly to the stereo
And if your boyfriend suddenly appears
If your father comes home and finds us here
You and I, we won t need an alibi
[root notes only]
It s only dancing
It s only dancing
Mirror ball
and a cover band
Just for kicks
Won t you take my hand?
It s something that all good friends do
It s not like I m in love with you
What a crazy idea, where did you get that?
Let s tangle up our finger tips
I ll a rest a hand upon your hips
There s nothing to see it s all so innocent
It s only dancing
It s only dancing
It s only dancing
It s only dancing
[Instrumental interlude]
(x4)
Clip-on tie
And a sweater vest
You wear a veil
And a wedding dress
I watch you part a crowded room
The perfect bride and the perfect groom
As you float across the ballroom in his arms
And I want to scream, I want to burst
I want to blame the whole damn universe
But the same three words I whisper to myself
[open position]
It s only dancing
It s only dancing
It s only dancing
It s only dancing
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-OOO-ooo-ooo
