Anywhere but There

And the drummer hits the beat
and the guitar sings the chords
The singer starts to sing
and I move a little bit closer
I made a promise to myself
never to go near you again
I said I will go anywhere but there
It’s now or never I cannot choose not to
May I dance with you
may I hold you close
may I touch your breast
and make love to you
May I make a terrible mistake with you
may I make a wonderful mistake with you
I said I will go anywhere but there
Oh, I recognize the smell
and I recognize this voice
and I recognize this breath
but I don’t recognize this choice
Made a promise to myself
never to go near you again
I said I will go anywhere but there
It’s now or never I cannot choose not to
May I dance with you
may I hold you close
may I touch your breast
and make love to you
May I make a terrible mistake with you
may I make a wonderful mistake with you
I said I will go anywhere but there
