Verse 1:
Oh, you're out there tonight with another
And my pain is so dreadfully sharp.
I picture you with her and shudder,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Verse 2:

Do you think that my feelings don't matter,
Or your cheatin' or hurtful remarks
When you leave me all broken and shattered
It's like a dagger through the heart

1st Chorus:

Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'
When you've made hurtin' me such an art,
Tossed around like a used box of crayons,
It's like a dagger through the heart

(Turnaround)

2nd Chorus:

Oh, you cut me to pieces so often
Like a knife or a poisonous dart
I would be better off in my coffin,
It's like a dagger through the heart

3rd Chorus:

Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'
When you've made hurtin' me such an art,
Tossed around like a used box of crayons,
It's like a dagger through the heart

Get on up and dance to the fonky music!
All: Dance to the Music, Dance to the Music
Freddie: Hey Greg!
Greg: What?
Freddie: All we need is a drummer,
for people who only need a beat
I'm gonna add a little guitar
and make it easy to move your feet
Larry: I'm gonna add some bottom,
so that the dancers just won't hide
Sly: You might like to hear my organ
playing "Ride Sally Ride"
You might like to hear the horns blowin',
Cynthia on the throne, yeah!
Cynthia & Jerry got a message they're sayin':
Cynthia: All the squares, go home!
All: Dance to the Music, Dance to the Music

Dance with me, oh-oh hold me closer, closer and closer
Much closer, while the music plays, oh, my little darlin', won'tya
Dance with me, oh-oh hold me tighter, tighter and tighter
Much tighter while the rhythm sways

Put your lips to mine while the music blends
We're no longer strangers
Now we're more than friends so-oh-oh

Dance with me, dance with me closer, closer and closer
And maybe, we'll be lovers, when the music ends

Entrea
Ay, tantas cosas que quiero
Decirte yo quiero
Hacer por ti
But first we must dancce

Private cotillion style
One lady's fantasy
Trip to Milan tonight
Exclusive shopping spree
Mansions await, your scent
That smells just like treasure
Dining with me in suites
That overlooks the shore

[1] - As we move, then we touch, then we dip
(Dancin' with a rich man)
As we move, then we touch, then we dip
(Shall we dance, shall we dance, shall we dance)
As we turn, then we stare, then we kiss
(Dancin' with a rich man)
As we turn, then we stare, then we kiss

Kissing the feet of you
While listening to Bonsois
And your angelic brace
Wearing Victoria
Passionate love with you
Hearing you "Oh, oui oui"
Some antique jewelry from
Kenshire's gallery

[Repeat 1]

And when you elevate
Like visions of grandeur
Mademoiselle and me
Behind the villa doors
Sunsets on yellow sand
That's where we rendezvous
Chapels of Valentine
Is just to name a few

[Repeat 1]

Dandy, dandy,
Where you gonna go now?
Who you gonna run to?
All your little life
Youre chasing all the girls.
They cant resist your smile.
Oh, they long for dandy, dandy.

Checkin out the ladies,
Tickling their fancy,
Pouring out your charm
To meet your own demands,
And turn it off at will.
Oh, they long for dandy, dandy.

Knockin on the back door,
Climbing through the window,
Hubbys gone away,
And while the cats away
The mice are gonna play.
Oh, you low down dandy, dandy.
Dandy

Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast,
And dandy, you know you can't escape the past.
Look around you and see the people settle down,
And when you're old and grey you will remember what they said,
That two girls are too many, three's a crowd and four you're dead.

Oh dandy, dandy,
When you gonna give up?
Are you feeling old now?
You always will be free,
You need no sympathy,
A bachelor you will stay,
And dandy, you're all right.

Day dawns dark, it now numbers infinity.
Life crawls from the past, watching in wonder
I trace its patterns in me.
Tomorrow's tomorrow is birth again.
Boats burn the bridge in the fens;
the time of the past returns to my life
and uses it.

Don't blame me for the letters that may form in the sand;
don't look in my eyes, you may see all the numbers
that stretch in my sky and colour my hand.
Don't say that I'm wrong in imagining
that the voice of my life cannot sing.
Fate enters and talks in old words:
They amuse it.

The hands shine darkly and white: only in dark they appear.
Bless the baby born today,
flying in pitch, flying on fear.

They shine in my eyes and touch my face
where I have seen them placed before;
don't blame me, please, for the fate that falls:
I did not choose it.
I did not, no no, I did not
I truly did not choose it.

Woman, I can remember a woman
Warm were her kisses and tender was she
Lying there in my arms
Why, why did you deceive me so
What devil inside made you go
When I needed you most of all

Oh, daughter of darkness
Stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, you broke it apart
You daughter of darkness


Daughter of darkness
Please leave me alone forever
Daughter of darkness gone is the love
That we shared together

Heaven, we had our own kind of heaven
Sharing together, the magic of love
In a world of our own
Then, oh so suddenly you were gone
The love I depended upon
Disappeared when you went away

Ooh, daughter of darkness
Stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, you broke it apart
Oh, you daughter of darkness

Daughter of darkness
Leave me alone forever
Daughter of darkness gone is the love
That we shared together

Oh, daughter of darkness
Stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, and then you broke it apart
You daughter of darkness

Daughter of darkness
Stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, and then you broke it apart
You devil daughter of darkness

Why can't you curl so good?

Daughter of darkness, oh
Leave me alone forever
You devil daughter of darkness gone is the love

He's the kind of guy that would say
'Hey baby let's get away let's go some place, huh''
Well I don't care
He's the kind of guy that you give your everything
And trust your heart, share all of your love, till death do you part

I want to be what he wants when he wants it, and whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved
I'll be there to feed it
I'm givin' him a little bit for each day
He turns me right on when I hear him say

(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
(Baby can we')
Well I don't care
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
(Baby can we')
Well I don't care

I wanna be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
When it comes to bein' feelin' loved starved I'll be there to feed it
Lovin him a little bit more each day
It turns me right on when I hear him say

(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we') Well, I don't care

My make-up is dry and it clags on my chin
I'm drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin
The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore
The lions they won't fight and the tigers won't roar

So let's all drink to the death of a clown
Won't someone help me to break up this crown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown
Let's all drink to the death of a clown

The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore
The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees
And frantically looking for runaway fleas

When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat, lover we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams

We went steady in the fall,
we broke up in the spring
your young lovin blinds,
and you gave me back my ring
Well I see now what my friends saw then,
that you're just not the one
to love someone true
the way I love you,
oh devil doll

Now I'm not the first one
and I won't be the last,
you'll make my heart
just another heart you've broken in the past
Don't play a game with another guy,
don't make me feel so blue,
I'm a guy that's true and I love you
oh devil doll

Now I'm not the first one
don't let me be the last,
