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

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

She looks good, but her (F)boy friend says she’s a 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 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.)

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

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

She looks good, but her (F)boy friend says she’s a 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 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.
