It's Friday night you must be alone 

That's the only time you'd ever phone 

But if you drop by don't be surprised 

Cause darling I won't be there tonight 



I'm dancing your memory away in the arms of a stranger 

For now I'm okay, my hearts out of danger 

Tonight while I'm waltzing as the band softly plays 

I'm getting by, one song at a time, dancing your memory away 



Once, twice, tell me how many times 

Was I a fool for your lying eyes 

But I won't be your fool anymore 

At least not while I'm out on the floor 



I'm dancing your memory away in the arms of a stranger 

For now I'm okay, my hearts out of danger 

Tonight while I'm waltzing as the band softly plays 

I'm getting by, one song at a time, dancing your memory away 



I'm dancing your memory away in the arms of a stranger 

For now I'm okay, my hearts out of danger 

Tonight while I'm waltzing as the band softly plays 

I'm getting by, one song at a time, dancing your memory away
