Charlene:
Every night i walked the streets
Never dreaming what could happen
Sad and so lonely
I saw in the mirror my reflection
Staring back at me
I thought, will i ever find what i need?
But i'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
Darren:
Oh my heart's been tried
Time and again
Always thought that it was me but
I see now just how wrong i was
No, i haven't known you for a lifetime
But somehow i've never been more sure that you're for me
Baby please
Don't leave, just come and dance with me tonight
But i'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
Don't be cruel to me
Oh, i've wanted more
And i've been wrong before
So much learning to lose
But you're not a day too soon
So say you feel the same and
We'll never be lonely anymore
But i'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
