CASSIE
Give me somebody to dance for Give me somebody to show
Let me wake up in the morning to find I have somewhere exciting to go
To have something that I can believe in
To have someone to be
Use me
Choose me
God, I'm a dancer, a dancer dances!
Give me somebody to dance with Give me a place to fit in
Help me return to the world of the living by showing me how to begin
Play me the music
Give me a chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror, and the chance to dance for you
Give me a job and you instantly get me involved
If you give me a job then the rest of the crap wil get solved
Put me to work, you would think that by now I'm allowed
I'll do you proud!
Throw me a rope to grab onto Help me to prove that I'm strong
Give me the chance to look forward to saying', "Hey, listen, they're playing my song"
Play me the music
Give me the chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror, and the chance to dance
(Dance)
Play me the music Play me the music Play me the music
Give me the chance to come through
All I ever needed was the music, and the mirror, and the chance to dance
