Hopin' you'll miss her
So you want to believe
And just when you're ready to die
You'll only miss her
Dancing the night away
You turn your back on her
Dancing, right across the floor
And ask you to reach for the sky
Dancing the night away
When all you want is a night alone
Dancing the night away
She'd love you to kiss her
You're still in love with her
At last you're gonna be free
At last they accept you
In case you go next year
By takin' your mind off the load
You don't think you'll get very far
And wish you would die from the cold
Dancing the night away
You just got your mind on the things ahead
'Cause you think of the time
Dancing makes my body go
Just after you kiss her
Dancing and the song you sing
Dancing the night away
And you think that you're makin' the grade
They turn their back on you
Just when you're ready to go
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
In Survival Hotel
Dancing the night away
Dancing, every move you make
And nobody knows who you are
Everything that you read
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
And just when you're getting it made
I don't even know your name
So they put you on ice
So you turn on the smiles
