Tap dancing, falling over my own two feet Hoping that you like what you see In I'm tap dancing, making up the moves as I go along Forgetting all the words to my song Until I cry Just doing what I can for you to like me Hiding the clown I am deep down inside me Don't look too closely, just clap your hands Don't say you know me, just Let me tap dance for you Let me tap dance for you Tap dancing over all the marbles on the floor Forgetting that I might be something more than a smile I'm tap dancing for too much Maybe I should just give it up for And let the curtain fall and face the ugly Shouldn't at all for you to love me Don't look too closely, just clap your hands Don't say you know me, just Let me tap dance for you Let me tap dance for you I really wanna take off these shoes But I'm afraid of the truth That I'm not enough for you So don't look too closely, just understand Don't say you know me Let me tap dance for you Let me tap dance for you I'm gonna tap dance for you Tap dance For you
