Dancer in the Dark

She got her head in the dirt

And her neck in my hands

She won't live too long with a mind like that

I can't hang every day

Baby, I've got plans, oh-whoa

I won't waste her time with a life like that

Keep your hands on your face

Don't let them slip off with the pressure, no

Mmm, just stay blind

Take a gram to the face

Don't let them see your depression, no

Mmm, it's not right

Ooh baby, maybe it's that look in your eyes

They been telling me she wanna leave

She's been dancing with the devil all night

It's like hell is where she wanna be

She got a smile on her face

And a knife in her hand

She don't look too sane when she acts like that

She said, it's hard to relate

When you don't understand, oh-oh, yeah-yeah

Well, get your shit straight, baby

I am not your man

Keep your hands to yourself

Don't put them on someone else's life

Mmm, stay right there, right there

Take advice from yourself

If the energy's dead, baby, let things die

Mmm, I don't care, oh, no

Baby, it's that look in your eyes

They been telling me she wanna leave

She's been dancing with the devil all night

It's like hell is where she wanna be

Now, watch her dance in the dark

Watch her dance in the dark

Watch her dance in the dark

Watch her dance in the dark, oh, yeah

I love to watch her dance

When the lights are gone her emotion shows

I love to watch her dance

Seems like tragedy is all she knows

Baby, it's that look in your eyes

They been telling me she wanna leave

She's been dancing with the devil all night

It's like hell is where she wanna be

Now, watch her dance in the dark

Watch her dance in the dark

Watch her dance in the dark

Watch her dance in the dark, oh, yeah
