So you want to believe Everything that you read And you think that you're makin' the grade (and) just when you're getting it made You're still in love with her She'd love you to kiss her Hopin' you'll miss her By takin' your mind off the load Just when you're ready to go You turn your back on her You just got your mind on the things ahead At last you're gonna be free You'll only miss her Just after you kiss her Dancing the night away Dancing the night away Dancing the night away Dancing the night away Dancing the night away Dancing the night away So you turn on the smiles 'cause you think of the time And nobody knows who you are You don't think you'll get very far I don't even know your name At last they accept you In case you go next year And ask you to reach for the sky And just when you're ready to die They turn their back on you So they put you on ice In survival hotel And wish you would die from the cold When all you want is a night alone Dancing the night away Dancing the night away Dancing the night away Dancing the night away Dancing the night away Dancing the night away
