[Verse 1]
Get on your dancing shoes
There's one thing on your mind
Hoping they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging through
Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Yeah, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waiting and waiting and
[Chorus]
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for?
Well, don't you always do the same?
It's what you're there for, don't you know?
[Verse 2]
The lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And some might exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance
Don't act like it's not happening
As if it's impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you'll just do the same as they all do
And hope for the best
[Chorus]
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for?
Well, don't you always do the same?
It's what you’re there for, but no
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Get on your dancing shoes
You sexy little swine
Hoping they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging through
I said, the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride, yeah
Yeah, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waiting and waiting
Get on your dancing shoes
There's one thing on your mind
Hoping they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging through
Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Yeah, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waiting and waiting and
[Chorus]
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for?
Well, don't you always do the same?
It's what you're there for, don't you know?
[Verse 2]
The lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And some might exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance
Don't act like it's not happening
As if it's impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you'll just do the same as they all do
And hope for the best
[Chorus]
The only reason that you came
So what you scared for?
Well, don't you always do the same?
