One Woman Tango

I want to go dancing
But like a laugh or snort I just want it to happen naturally
Like the wind would be my boom-box and the street my stage
And, damn, we look good when we booty shake
So let's dance
Like love was never a liar
Donning a plaid beret or ill fitted fedora
Let's dance
Like time didn't wrap wounds
Around our wrists
Till we bled laughter
Let's dance
Because I don't know you anymore
But I heard you could throw down
And I remember how good it felt to make you smile
So dance with me
Because a plaid beret does not a man make
And what is a man, anyway
If he gets in the way of our groove?
Dance with me
Because I knew you first
I loved you through the worst
And damn only the hardest beats hurt
So fucking dance
I'm not asking you
I'm telling you
Get the fuck out of this resting room
And dance
You fell along time ago
So long and so far I don't really remember when it happened
I remember making jokes
Like a few wise cracks would bring you back and
Here we are
You- sitting on the couch
The wind outside- just another missed opportunity to me
And when I look out at the street?
Damn.
There is nothing more depressing than an empty dance floor.
So sometimes, I speak to you
As if you'll hear through my gaze what I'm trying to say
But it never really works out that way
Because the stove was left on or the windows don't latch
And there's always something more important than this time we can't get back
So I dance
Like a fool by myself
Because I'm here to bring the music back to you
If you'd only let me help
