I've Got An Invitation To A Dance

I’ve got an invitation to a dance,
But I don’t think I’ll go,
I’d be sorry I know;
I’m afraid I might see
The one who should be with me
With somebody else.
I’ve got an invitation to a dance;
It’s the town’s big affair,
All our friends will be there.
They may talk when they see
The one who should be with me
With somebody else.
I don’t wanna start a lot of gossip,
Out of sight is out of mind!
Maybe there is still a chance to make up;
We may wake up and find
We’re leavin' happiness behind!
I’ve got an invitation to a dance;
I could bring someone new
But what good would it do?
It would hurt me to see
The one who should be with me
With somebody else.
I don’t wanna start a lot of gossip,
Out of sight is out of mind!
