lyrics

Alone in the corner she sits and she waits
She has more time than you'd ever think
She's all dolled up, just for tonight
I wonder who's going to be that one lucky guy
Her eyes they shine, like the candlelit light
She's got a flame that's burning inside
Her stomach is turning, it's twisting in knots
But she hasn't even got to the twist in the plot

Take a look around my dear
The music's getting softer and it's calling out your name
The time is now, what are you waiting for
You've got the moves that'll put all those girls to shame

There in her chair she weeps and she cries
She's got nothing but hurt on her mind
She's all choked up because of tonight
Who would've thought he'd be that kind of guy
Her light it fades, it slowly burns out
That old chandelier has come crashing down
As the panic ensues and the music fades
She'll forever hide her face in this masquerade

Take a look around my dear
The music's getting softer and it's calling out your name
The time is now, what are you waiting for
You've got the moves that'll put all those girls to shame
