Melissa Etheridge - You Used to Love to Dance lyrics
[Melissa Etheridge - You Used to Love to Dance lyrics]
Lying in a city night
A million fingers tingling my skin
Out there in the sea tonight
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
You rolled me over long ago
And told me you were strong enough to go
You needed more than this lover's dream
You need the steel and the
Concrete beams in your life in your life
But we laughed and drank
In that jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
Hey, for fifty cents we'd
Dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance i remember how
You used to love to dance
They told me you have found your love
You moved in
Locked up and put out your blues
Well all God's children got to grow up
And play house
Make vows to hang up their shoes
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups?
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up?
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
You couldn't keep the lies
The adrenaline bliss in your life
In your life
But we laughed and drank
In that jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
Yeah, for fifty cents we'd
Dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance i remember how
You used to love to dance
Oh I'm gonna go out tonight
I'm gonna drive up to the hill
Hey, I'm gonna dive on into those city lights
And I'm gonna dance, dance
Dance 'til I get my fill
Oh we laughed and drank in that jukebox light
Tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
Yeah, for fifty cents we'd
Dance all night long
Each new tune we swore that's our song
It felt so right
Well I know, I know ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance i remember how
You used to love to dance
You say sha la la la la la la la la, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh ah ha, oh no
Oh, sha la la la la la la la la, baby, baby
Oh ho, yeah, ho
Come on, come on, come on and dance dance
Come on, come on sha la la sha la la
Sha la la la la la la sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
A million fingers tingling my skin
Out there in the sea tonight
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
You rolled me over long ago
And told me you were strong enough to go
You needed more than this lover's dream
You need the steel and the
Concrete beams in your life in your life
But we laughed and drank
In that jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
Hey, for fifty cents we'd
Dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance i remember how
