She couldn't dance but she wanted to
She couldn't sing but for a sigh
They all said slip out on the side if you like
There's no way that you ain't earned the right
She was always up before the light
So she could gather herself before then
Besides things were so much quieter at that time
Before the hum and the buzz and the whine
She should dance if she wants to dance
She considers the rising of the sun
She considers what may happen should she run
Would the world fall apart as we know it
Would she really be able to make a go of it
She just wanted to have her own song
Just to leave just to go, say so long
She should dance if she wants to dance
She couldn't sing but for a sigh
They all said slip out on the side if you like
There's no way that you ain't earned the right
She was always up before the light
So she could gather herself before then
Besides things were so much quieter at that time
Before the hum and the buzz and the whine
She should dance if she wants to dance
She considers the rising of the sun
She considers what may happen should she run
Would the world fall apart as we know it
Would she really be able to make a go of it
She just wanted to have her own song
Just to leave just to go, say so long
She should dance if she wants to dance
