She said: "Take time to know me,
I'm not as bad as I seem
They say a heart needs a second chance,
I want to know what that means."

I said: "Where do you come from?
And what do you do?"
"I'm retired now,
But baby, I would dance for you."
 
"Don't walk away, just because
I look a little run down
I was lost on the wrong side of midnight,
In the wrong part of town."

"I don't know what kept me going,
What pulled me through
I'm retired now
And baby, I would dance for you."
 
She seemed such a lucky girl
Not a fear in this whole, wide world
Makes it hard to see
How she's dying, for some company
 
"Why don't you stay here with me?
I think we're two of a kind
Yeah, lately the way things've been going,
Honey, I sure wouldn't mind."

"But don't think you owe me a thing,
Whatever you do
I'm retired now,
But baby, I would dance for you
I'm retired now
But baby,
I would dance, 
For you."
 
"I would dance for you."
"Dance for you." 
"For you."
