I once had a girl
She thought she had the world
And she thinks she's going to make it to broadway
Her mouth's a loaded gun
And I had enough
And she thinks she's going to make it her own way
And oh no, nobody's good enough
To live in her world sharing the spotlight
And I know the world's a fantasy,
A fiction-based metaphysical twilight
Did you know, you were a speeding truck
With your devil eyes, as the headlights
And I'm dry on things to sing about
There's nothing left to say except,
Lying's for liars and
Loving's for lovers
Dancing's just not, oh
Dancing's just not for you
Did you hear, did you hear the news?
Dancing's just not, no
Dancing's just not for you
She took my heart with ease, just like a gentle breeze
That seemed to say that she would love me forever
The breeze turned in to wind, that would begin the end
And start a storm I didn't know how to weather
And oh no,
Now she's a hurricane,
And there's no man on earth that could tame her
And it's the way she spins must be some kind of sin
And oh no, the world cannot restrain her
Did you know, you were a speeding truck
With your devil eyes, as the headlights
And I'm dry on things to sing about
There's nothing left to say except
Lying's for liars and
Loving's for lovers
Dancing's just not, oh
Dancing's just not for you
Did you hear, did you hear the news?
Dancing's just not, no
Dancing's just not for you
She's not gonna back down no
She'll never surrender
She's not gonna let go
She never cared for me, just wanted to be seen
She crushed my soul before she shattered my bones
What happened to that girl who thought she had the world
She did more damage than she'll ever know
So I'll blow up this piano
Did you know you were a speeding truck
With your devil eyes as the headlights
And I'm dry on things to sing about
There's nothing left to say except
Lying's for liars and
Loving's for lovers
Dancing's just not, oh
Dancing's just not for you
Did you hear, did you hear the news?
Dancing's just not, dancing's just not,
Dancing's just not for you
