"Carving my initials on your forehead" Now if you're never gonna move, oh my love you'll make me come to you But I'm still dancing on my own, still dancing on my own Although I'm coming close to you, oh my love I'll keep the dance floor warm But I'm still dancing on my own, still dancing on my own Won't dance, not without you, small steps, they lead only to your heart You keep me wishing in the dark What's wrong, you cannot lose, my eyes only see to your heart You keep me wishing in the dark "Carving my initials on your forehead" Now if you're never gonna move, oh my love you'll make me come to you But I'm still dancing on my own, still dancing on my own Although I'm coming close to you, oh my love I'll keep the dance floor warm But I'm still dancing on my own, still dancing on my own I know you hear me but can you reach me Feel free to touch me and we can play hard With buddies jerking, but still I'm working I'm new to moving, and we can play hard Now if you're never gonna move, oh my love you'll make me come to you But I'm still dancing on my own, still dancing on my own Although I'm coming close to you, oh my love I'll keep the dance floor warm But I'm still dancing on my own, still dancing on my own We can play hard, hard, hard, We can play hard, hard, hard, We can play hard, hard, hard, We can play hard, hard, hard We can play hard, hard, hard [Repeat x2] Now if you're never gonna move, oh my love you'll make me come to you But I'm still dancing on my own, still dancing on my own Although I'm coming close to you, oh my love I'll keep the dance floor warm But I'm still dancing on my own, still dancing on my own
