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...
