Dancing With a Stranger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Holding on to the rhythm
I'm standing in my leather and lace
People move to the left, and
Move to the right, and
The whole place starts to shake
Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away
Letting go my inhibitions
Is harder to do than say
But I surrender to the beat
I start shuffling my feet
When I hear that music play
I trip the light fantastic
I touch the sky and it feels like magic
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away
Give me a dance, dance
Dancing with a stranger
And it takes my breath away
I ain't looking for mister right
It doesn't matter to me
There's something in the air
Electric I like
Igniting endlessly
I started to dance...
Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away...
