Tonight she dances all alone She sways and the jukebox plays on and on It's into the music, she's gone Someone let her down, oh, I understand Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance Oh, I wonder what I could say A word to help take the hurt away I feel what she feels as she sways Someone let her down, oh, I understand Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance Her eyes, I see a teardrop fall Her dream was only a dream, that's all She turns her face to the wall Someone let her down, oh, I understand Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance Lots of things in life break a heart in two Sometimes just dancin's the best we can do People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
