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
