I’m gonna go out tonight
Gonna feel alright
If it tears me right in two
‘Cause I just can’t stay feeling this way
With a heart that’s full of you
I’m gonna go right down
To a part of town
Where I’ve never been before
And in some small place
Find a brand new face
And step out on the floor

And I’ll be dancing ’round and ’round
And I’ll be satisfied if I can just hold my ground
And if he helps me to keep your memory down
I’ll be dancing ’round and ’round

Well you put some distance ’round you
I know I meant to see
There’s a space inside for someone
But I know it isn’t me
So among the boys who are searching
And the girls who hope they’re found
If you look for me, I’m the one you’ll see
Who’s dancing ’round and ’round

And I’ll be dancing ’round and ’round
And I’ll be satisfied if I can just hold my ground
And if he helps me to keep your memory down
I’ll be dancing ’round and ’round

Come on music, wash my tears away
Come on darkness, cover up the day

Dancing ’round and ’round
And I’ll be satisfied if I can just hold my ground
And if he helps me to keep your memory down
I’ll be dancing ’round and ’round
I’ll be dancing ’round and ’round
