It's Only Dancing

Late night call and I'm at your door
Teenage tears on the kitchen floor
I pull you close, hold my breath
Feel your heart beat through your summer dress
Shuffle our feet slowly to the stereo
And if your boyfriend suddenly appears
If your father comes home and finds us here
You and I, we won't need an alibi
It's only dancing
It's only dancing
Mirror ball and a cover band
Just for kicks, won't you take my hand?
It's something that all good friends do
It's not like I'm in love with you
What a crazy idea!
Where did you get that?
Let's tangle up our fingertips
And I'll rest a hand up on your hips
Nothing to see, it's all so innocent
It's only dancing
It's only dancing
It's only dancing
It's only dancing
Clip-on tie and a sweater vest
You wear a veil and a wedding dress
I watch you part a crowded room
A perfect bride and a perfect groom
As you float across the ballroom in his arms
And I wanna scream, I wanna burst
I wanna blame the whole damn universe
But the same three words I whisper to myself
It's only dancing
It's only dancing
It's only dancing
It's only dancing
