Baby If You Wanna Dance

Volume 2:1977 to 1980
Baby If You Wanna Dance
from «Cabin Fever», 1978, Arista Records
See her standing in the doorway
looking like a fallen star
Smiling like an outcast angel
taking everything a bit too far…
Baby if you wanna dance
Baby if you wanna dance
You gotta pay the band
Baby if you wanna dance
Baby if you wanna dance
You gotta pay the band…
Some get older, some get wiser,
some go under and some get by
And, baby, your tricks worked so much
better when you were younger,
way back when, girl, before you
forgot how to cry…
(BRIDGE:)
And, baby, though I’ve been preaching
I ain’t above reaching for you, girl
'cause I know how lonely it gets
in the rock-n-roll wars…
