Ladies Choice

Went to a dance one night

And the beautiful music was playing

And through the dim blue light

I could just see the silhouette swaying.

Then all at once the room was aglow

And through the couples I could see

A pair of angel eyes and I was hypnotised

They were looking straight at me.

They played a ladies choice

And I could feel my heart beating madly

For any moment she'd ask me to dance

And I would say gladly.

Then someone said would you care to dance?

I turned around when I heard her voice

But it was someone else, oh how sad I felt

For I was the wrong ladies choice.

And when the song was through

She was alone and I caught her eye

I had to make my play before

She'd dance with some other guy.

So as the music played

She laid her sweet head on my shoulder

And she could see the love that I felt

As though I had told her.

Was someone waiting to take her home?

I wondered who would the luck boy be?

And when the dance was through, all the world was new

For the ladies choice was me.

Yeah, the ladies choice was me.

Mmm, the ladies choice was me...
