Tommy Fain – The Dance lyrics
You never told me you’d love me
You never told me you’d stay
You never told me you wanted my touch
You never held me that way

You said you wanted your freedom
You said you wanted a life
Without any strings, or connections
You said you’d be no man’s wife.

You dressed for success of the evening
Flowing chiffon with your gold
You searched for the thrill that would fill you
But your heart was empty and cold

Yeah you dressed for success and now I confess
That you captured my heart in your little quest
For the night

So I gave you my thin yellow candle
You lit it as part of your game
Then you danced while it fluttered and flickered
So tempting, so wanting, so vain

As the candle burned down to an ember
The light it faded to dark
You danced on the edge of the shadows
You danced on the edge of my heart

Yeah you dressed for success and now I confess
That you captured my heart in your little quest
For the night

You never wanted commitments
You just wanted good times
But you never really wanted your freedom, did you baby
You just wanted to take mine
You took mine
Your dance took my freedom that night
