Dance, dance on, little girl
In the arms of someone new
As you dance, as you twirl
My heart, it dances with you
Dance, dance on, little girl
Tell me what I've done wrong
Why should he hold you tight
While they're playing our song
Oh, I am watching you
Oh, oh, oh, it cannot be
While I'm watching you
I'm wishing it were me
Dance, dance on, little girl
(Dance, little girl)
Tell me why did we part
(Dance, dance, dance)
Dance, dance on, little girl
(Dance, little girl)
Dance out of my heart
Oh, I am watching you
Oh, oh, oh, it cannot be
While I'm watching you
I'm wishing,I'm hoping
It were me
Go on and dance, little girl
(Dance, little girl)
Tell me why did we part
(Dance, dance, dance)
Dance, dance on, little girl
(Dance, little girl)
Dance out of my heart
Oh, look at you
There you go, silly girl
Oh, yes, I know that
You're wrong, wrong, wrong
Because you know that
You're gone, gone, gone
