I'm dancing round and round Acting just like a clown I know I'll never be free I'm just a puppet on a string I've lost my pride and everything It began on the day we met She kissed me once and I was lost She rules me now, I'll pay the cost Dancing the Nancy's Minuet I'm dancing round and round Acting just like a clown I know I'll never be free The music's deep within my heart She looks at me the dancing starts I'm just a foolish marionette I'll never break a single string To stay with her means everything Dancing the Nancy's Minuet I'm dancing round and round Acting just like a clown I know I'll never be free
