Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How you gonna make me do this dance again?
We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends
If we start it might never end
So we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 2]
When we met I wasn't interested
I did half a glance, didn't want to chance it
Now I lie awake and I think about you
[Verse 3]
Because there's a moral to this story but I don't know it
Always listen to myself but not this time I guess
Keep on running from it, but I want it, I do
[Verse 4]
How you gonna make me do this dance again?
We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends
If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 5]
I drag my heels 'cause I just can't walk away
Fantasizing if you want to you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 6]
It's forbidden but I still want you
I wanna taste the fruit, but I just can't chance it
So much at risk and I'm scared to lose
[Verse 7]
And there's a moral to the story, but I've lost my head
There's a million different secrets we should leave unsaid
Should be running from it, but I want it, I do
[Verse 8]
How you gonna make me do this dance again?
We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends
If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 9]
I drag my heels 'cause I just can't walk away
Fantasizing if you want to you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 10]
Tiptoes, tiptoes
You got me on my tiptoes, tiptoes
We want to but we both know
Both know there's too much to lose
[Verse 11]
How you gonna make me do this dance again?
We're getting closer but we're trying to be friends
If we start it might never end, so we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 12]
I drag my heels cause I just can't walk away
Fantasising if you want to you could stay
And be my baby but our hearts might break
So we keep tiptoeing
[Verse 13]
Tiptoes, tiptoes
You got me on my tiptoes, tiptoes
We want to but we both know
Both know there's too much to lose
