Tonight she dances all alone
She sways, and the jukebox plays on and on
It's into the music she's gone.
Someone let her down, oh, i understand
Me, i'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance.
Oh, i wonder what i could say
A word, to help take the hurt away
I feel what she feels as she sways.
Someone let her down, oh, i understand
Me, i'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance.
Her eyes, i see a teardrop fall
Her dream was only a dream, that's all
She turns her face to the wall.
Someone let her down, oh, i understand
Me, i'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance.
Lots of things in life break a heart in two
Sometimes, just dancing's the best we can do
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance...
