Text: Carole King. Dancing.

I dance a little closer to you
And watch you dance away
Hard selling, what we both know
Tomorrow you may not be able to give away

And as I leave the stage
Dancing through my rage
I feel helpless as the music goes on
And we turn to another page

Dancing, everybody's dancing
Moving through the ballet
Never missing a cue
How sad but how beautiful it can be
To watch the choreography
As we play out our fantasy

Red hair flashing
Under amber-colored lights
You pirouette too smoothly
As you move around your ladies
And your fear of lonely nights

As you leap across the air
You're so perfectly aware
Of your audience in rapt attention
As you hang suspended there

You do have a tender side
I can feel it, though you've
Always tried to hide it from me
'Cause you know that I'm one woman
Who's strong enough to see you
As you've always been afraid to be

Dancing, everybody's dancing
Moving through the ballet
Never missing a cue
How sad but how beautiful it can be
To watch the choreography
As we play out our fantasy

Dancing, everybody's dancing
Moving through the ballet
Dancing, everybody's dancing
Everybody's dancing
Everybody's dancing

Dancing
Never missing a beat
Dancing, Dancing
Everybody's dancing

Dancing
Never missing a beat
Dancing
Everybody's dancing
Dancing
