[Verse 1]
Tap dancing, falling over my own two feet
Hoping that you like what you see in disguise
I'm tap dancing, making up the moves as I go along
Forgetting all the words to my song until I cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Just doing what I can
For you to like me
Hiding the clown I am
Deep down inside me
[Chorus]
Don't look too closely, just clap your hands
Don't say you know me, just cue the band
Let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you
[Verse 2]
Tap dancing over all the marks on the floor
Pretending that I might be something more than a smile
I'm tap dancing, maybe I'm asking for too much
Maybe I should just give it up for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
And let the curtain fall
And face the ugly
I shouldn't have to dance at all
For you to love me
[Chorus]
Don't look too closely, just clap your hands
Don't say you know me, just cue the band
And let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you
[Bridge]
I really wanna take off these shoes
But I'm afraid of the truth
That I'm not enough for you
[Chorus]
Don't look too closely, just understand
No need to judge me, just be a fan
Let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you
[Outro]
I'm gonna tap dance for you
Tap dance, for you
