Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So, she says it's time she goes
But wanted to be sure I know
She hopes we can be friends
[Verse 2]
I think, yeah, I guess we can say I
But didn't think to ask her why
She blocked her eyes and drew the curtains
With knots I've got yet to untie
[Chorus]
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with
[Verse 3]
See, it was just too soon to tell
And looking for some parallel
Can be an endless game
[Verse 4]
We, we said goodbye before hello
My secrets she will never know
And if I dig a hole to China
I'll catch the first junk to Soho
[Chorus]
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with
[Bridge]
Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
I'm between the poles and the equator
Don't send no private investigator to find me, please
'Less he speaks Chinese
And can dance like Astaire overseas, okay
[Chorus]
What if I was
So what if I was
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with
[Chorus]
What if I was Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with
