Carole King – Dancing lyrics

DANCING
by Carole King

I dance a little closer to you
and watch you dance away
Hard selling what we both know
tomorrow you may not be able to give away
And as I leave the stage
Dancing through my rage
I feel helpless as the music goes on,
and we turn another page

Dancing-everybody's dancing
Moving through the ballet
Never missing a cue
How sad, but how beautiful it can be
To watch the choreography
As we play out our fantasy

Red hair flashing
under amber colored lights
You pirouette too smoothly
And you move around your ladies
And you fear of lonely nights
As you leap across the air
You're so perfectly aware
Of your audience in rapt attention
As you hang suspended there

You do have a tender side
I can feel it, though you've always
tried to hide it from me
cause you know that I'm one woman
who's strong enough to see you
As you've always been afraid to be

Dancing-everybody's dancing
