You know the kind of girl spreads mystique

She'll plant a kiss upon your cheek - whoa

She's the one the rich boys like

She guards a slingshot from their sight

Now you may call it lack of competence

Here's my story and my defense

I watched her slowly and I watched her fast

I've got to make the moment last



At the dance, (o-o)

You take a chance, o yeah

At the dance (o-o)

A romance, o yeah



So there were seated face to face

The cat and mouse without the chase yeah

And she lifts her smile at me

I stabbed her with stupidity

So I took out a paper and wrote down my name

And she whispered it's all the same

And so I'm standing here looking dumb but

Ah she took to me, did that girl succumb



At the dance, (o-o)

You take a chance, o yeah

At the dance (o-o)

A romance, o yeah



Went home that night and I climbed the walls, yeah

Left my number for her call

O - but I tell you that they're all the same

Love you the first night - forget your name

O - what a shame



At the dance, (o-o)

You take a chance, o yeah

Tell you at the dance (o-o)

A romance succumb stabs you

At the dance (o-o, o no)

You take a chance, o yeah

Tell you at the dance, (o-o)

Give me at the dance

O - I live at the dance

That girl is driving me hell now

Now everywhere

At the dance, o-o, o no)

You take a chance

I tried at the dance

I tried my waltz, (o-o)

I tried; I tried my waltz

At the dance (o-o)

Yeah
