Says she wants to dance real slow 
Real slow 
It's gettin' late and it's time to go
But I don't wanna know 
Feels strange to be holding on to someone new
After so long 
Don't tell me what I need to hear
Tell me what I wanna hear 
And baby make me believe it 

Say I'll never be lonely again
I don't need a lover tonight just a friend
I know I'm lost but maybe you found me 
Tell me lies and put your arms around me 
Say I'll never be lonely again 
Help me to pretend 

Whisper to me it'll be alright
And it'll be alright 
I guess it's you & me against the night
And it's a long brutal night 
& if I'm dragging you into my life
That's the price of the ticket 
It's good to have you along for the ride
Now speak those words 
I don't care if you don't mean it 

In a world of hurt 
You need someone you can bleed on
A true friend 
But nothing's ever for sure
Sometimes a friend can be 
Long gone 

Says she wants to dance real slow
Real slow 
It's gettin' late and it's time to go
But just lie once more 
Baby make me believe it 

You know I'm lost but maybe you found me 
Tell me lies and put your arms around me 
Say I'll never be lonely again 
Help me to pretend
