When I find my life is kind A thousand thoughts pass through my mind She just turned to me and said Will we be free when we are dead I asked you for a dance All you had to do was ask me for a dance They took away our clothes and things We laughed about what springtime brings When I speak it's much too loud I often hear a dangerous sound I asked you for a dance No one ever asked you for a dance I'm often upside roundabout I'm lost before I'm even out I was really so surprised The first time that I caught your eyes I asked you for a dance No one ever asked you for a dance You wouldn't even try You wouldn't even try if asked you She may be the first But she will never be the last I sometimes wonder how she found me When I see y dreams confound me I asked you for a dance No one ever asked you for a dance You wouldn't even try You wouldn't even try if I asked you She may be the first She'll be the last And when I speak it's much too loud I often hate my dangerous sound I asked you for a dance No one ever asked you for a dance Oh, I asked you for a dance All you had to do was ask me for a dance
