Lyrics

Some girls won’t dance to the beat of the track.

She won’t walk a way, but she won’t ing look back.

She looks good, but her (F)boy friend says she’s a (C)mess, she’s a mess, she’s a mess, now the girl is her stressed.

She’s a mess, she’s a (F)mess, she’s a mess, she’s a (C)mess.

Ba by loves to dance in the dark,

’cause when he’s look ing, she falls a part.

Ba by loves to dance in the dark.

(Dance, dance, dance.)

Ba by loves to dance in the dark,

’cause when he’s look ing, she falls a part.

Ba by loves to dance, loves to dance in the (Bb)dark.

(Dance, dance, dance.)

Run, run, her kiss is a vam pi re grin.

The moon lights a way while she’s howl ing at him.

She looks good, but her (F)boy friend says she’s a (C)tramp, she’s a tramp, she’s a vamp, but she still does her dance.

She’s a tramp, she’s a (F)vamp, but she still kills the (C)dance.

Ba by loves to dance in the dark,

’cause when he’s look ing, she falls a part.

Ba by loves to dance in the dark.

(Dance, dance, dance.)

Ba by loves to dance in the dark,

’cause when he’s look ing, she falls a part.

Ba by loves to dance, loves to dance in the (Bb)dark.

(Dance, dance, dance.) dance, dance.)

She loves to dance in the (C)dark.

In the (Bb)dark,

she (F)loves, she loves to dance in the (C)dark.

Ba by loves to dance in the dark,

’cause when he’s look ing, she falls a part.

Ba by loves to dance in the dark.

Ba by.

Ba by loves to dance in the dark,

’cause when he’s look ing, she falls a part.

Ba by loves to dance, loves to dance in the (Bb)dark.

(Dance, dance, dance.)
