The sensitivity is not my strong suit
Let me say what's on my mind
And take off that party dress
Two lonely hearts in one sad sack
Well that's all right with me
Let's go home to something more
Than cats and cups of tea
Don't end up like that crazy broad
Just down the hall from you
Don't roll your eyes and act surprised
Just take my offer, please
Though it's not love, it's close enough
Help me make it through the gray
At the dimming of the day
Let's dance like grown -ups dance
Cheek to cheek, skin to skin
while we both still have a chance
Have you heard a word I said?
Get it through your pretty head
All I want is to dance like grown
Well, this kind of dancing
is an old tradition where I'm from
I learned the rope straight
from my dad, my stepdad, and my mom
They lost the love they wanted,
but you can't keep good folks down
They got up, mixed a drink,
Don't roll your eyes and act surprised
Let's dance before we both find out
That our love was all in vain
Just a red light on a train
Let's dance like grown -ups dance
We can do it on the floor
Babe, are you receiving me?
Take my hand and we'll dance
with no one left to turn to
Let's dance like grown -ups dance
Cheek to cheek and skin to skin
while we both still have a chance
Have you heard a word I said?
Get it through your pretty head
All I want is to dance like
All I want is to dance like
