Do you ever dance when you’re alone
All by yourself inside your home
Where your samba music plays
And no one can see your face
While the evening bus goes by
Through the buildings in the sky
Do you ever dance when you’re alone
And laugh beside the ringing phone?
No one else can know the way
To this dimly lighted place
There’s no need for a disguise
Or a mask to hide your eyes
Sometimes in pearls and black
You’ve been in love
But you come back again
Do you ever dance when you’re alone
And cross the threshold just to roam
Where the elevated train
Takes you out across the plain
Over rooftops in the night
Like a harbinger in flight
Sometimes in pearls and black
You’ve been in love
But you come back again
Sometimes in pearls and black
You’ve been in love
But you come back again
