| Dancin', romancin', but no second chancin', nothing more |
| Runnin' and hidin', slippin' and slidin' across the floor |
| She comes alone every night on her own lookin' for romance |
| She stands there watching while everyone’s touching |
| She’d take a chance |
| Standing there waiting, anticipating |
| How could this go wrong, so many lovers holdin' on |
| How could this go wrong, another night goes on and on |
| Now everyone’s fakin', hearts have been breakin' across the floor |
| He’s on the makin', she’s for the takin', nothing more |
| From the look in her eyes she is desperately searching for something to say |
| And as he calls her over, they’re getting closer, she’ll find a way |
| Looking for something, suddenly touching |
| How could this go wrong, it’s what she needed all along |
| How could this go wrong, and so the night goes on and on |
| Dancin', romancin', no second chancin' across the floor |
| He’s on the makin', she’s for the takin', nothing more |
| Still she comes alone every night on her own lookin' for romance |
| She stands there watching while everyone’s touching |
| She’d take a chance |
| Standing there waiting, anticipating |
| Lookin' for something, suddenly touching |
| How could this go wrong, she thought he loved her all along |
| How could this go wrong, so many lovers holding on |
| How could this go wrong, she thought he loved her all along |
| How could this go wrong, and so the night goes on and on |
