I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend (should’ve known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who’s gonna dance with me?
Please stay
And I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
now that you’re gone
(Now that you’re gone) was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?
Time heals the wounded
But my heart still bleeds
I can’t get you out of my life
Here’s my confession
You’re all that I need
I don’t want to love you but oh
With the touch of your hand
I come undone
With the flash of your burning eyes
I know that you’re the only one
I come, I come undone
I come undone
Your footsteps are heartbeats
It’s knockin’ at my door (it’s knockin’ at my door)
I swore that I won’t let you in
Love’s got it’s heroes
But I know that I just
Can’t hold out forever and oh
With the touch of your hand
I come undone
With the flash of your burning eyes
I know that you’re the only one
I come, I come undone
I come undone
Don’t know what you’re doing to me
‘Cause when your arms reach out, I’m gone
Here’s my confession
You’re all that I need
I don’t want to love you but oh
With the touch of your hand
I come undone
With the flash of your burning eyes
I know that you’re the only one
I come, I come undone
I come undone
I come (I come)
I come undone (I come)
I come undone
I come (I come)
I come undone
I come undone
I come, I come undone
I come undone (undone)
I come
I come
I come undone

[Verse 1]
Let’s go down to the Sunset Grill
We can watch the working girls go by
Watch the basket people walk around and mumble
Stare out at the auburn sky
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There’s an old man there from the old world
To him, it’s all the same
Calls all his customers by name
[Chorus]
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
[Verse 2]
You see a lot more meanness in the city
It’s the kind that eats you up inside
Hard to come away with anything that feels like dignity
Hard to get home with any pride
[Pre-Chorus 2]
These days a man makes you somethin’
And you never see his face
But there is no hiding place
[Chorus]
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
[Bridge]
Respectable little murders pay
They get more respectable every day
Don’t worry, girl
I’m gonna stick by you
And someday soon
We’re gonna get in that car
And get outta here
[Solo]
[Verse 1 (reprise)]
Let’s go down to the Sunset Grill
Watch the working girls go by
Watch the basket people walk around and mumble
Gaze out at the auburn sky
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Maybe we’ll leave come springtime
Meanwhile, have another beer
What would we do without all these jerks anyway?
Besides, all our friends are here
[Chorus]
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
Down at the Sunset Grill
[Instrumental Outro]
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through
What can you do, hmm?
Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn’t have a dress without a patch for the party to go
But you know she’ll get by
‘Cause she’s living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (It’s so cold)
And she can
It’s a good thing you don’t have a bus fare (it’s a good thing, ah-chh)
It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you’d lose it in the snow on the ground (a-ah-e-ah)
You got to walk into town to find a job (what’s enough?)
Tryin’ to keep your hands warm (it’s so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through and chill you to the bone (brr-cha)
Somehow you’d better go home where it’s warm
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (it’s so cold)
And she can
Living on a dream ain’t easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit (closer the knit)
And the chills stay away (a-ah-e-ah)
‘Cause we take ’em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is in your foundation (ooh-na, ooh-na, ooh-na, ooh-na)
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don’t forget to pray (forget to pray)
It’s makin’ it strong, where you belong
And we’re living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (good to know)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (it’s so cold)
And she can
Yes, we’re living in the love of the common people
Smile’s from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (it’s so cold)
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (good to know)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (it’s so cold)
Living in the love of the common people
Smile’s really hard on a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can
Oh woh woh, no matter how below (how)
Oh, oh woh
It’s dark and cold tonight, I’m walking all alone
And one step at a time I’m getting closer
I know she’s hard to find, instinctively I try
To take the path of love into the night
There would be no reason if you really didn’t care
There would be no reason for love
The door is open wide, is anybody there
I know this must be the room in your heart
I really don’t know why but it’s so easy to breathe
I know this must be the room in the heart, oh oh-oh yeah
No answers question me, no one’s been here before
I am the first to see the light at your door
If I could hold you now I wouldn’t disagree
With these four walls you’re protecting me, oh-oh-ooh
There would be no reason if you really didn’t care
There would be no reason for love
The door is open wide, is anybody there
I know this must be the room in your heart
I really don’t know why but it’s so easy to breathe
I know this must be the room in the heart, oh yeah
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel the love that’s surrounding me coming out of you
I can feel it (coming out, coming out, coming out) yeah
The door is open wide (is anybody there)
(I know this must be the room in your heart)
(I really don’t know why but it’s so easy to breathe) mmm, breathe
Oh oh-oh-oh (I know this must be the room in your heart)
I know this must be, I know this must be
I know, ooh ooh, is anybody there
Oh oh (the door is open wide, is anybody there) oh oh
(I know this must be the room in your heart) ah ah
(I really don’t know why) I really don’t know why
(But it’s so easy to breathe)
(I know this must be the room in your heart)
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You’ll drink the night away
And forget about ev’rything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It’s got so many people, but it’s got no soul
And it’s taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you’re tryin’, you’re tryin’ now
Another year and then you’d be happy
Just one more year and then you’d be happy
But you’re cryin’, you’re cryin’ now
Way down the street there’s a light in his place
He opens the door, he’s got that look on his face
And he asks you where you’ve been
You tell him who you’ve seen
And you talk about anything
He’s got this dream about buying some land
He’s gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he’ll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev’rything
But you know he’ll always keep movin’
You know he’s never gonna stop movin’
‘Cause he’s rollin’, he’s the rolling stone
When you wake up, it’s a new mornin’
The sun is shinin’, it’s a new mornin’
You’re goin’, you’re goin’ home
