There goes a ballerina, everybody knows her story But every night, you can see her put it all behind her, oh-oh Watch her spin, under the pale moonlight Will you ever dance for me again, maybe tonight? Oh, ballerina, ballerina Let me take you home It's a long night and a longer day Ballerina, ballerina I don't wanna be alone, no Oh, ballerina, oh-oh-oh I was a ballerina, everybody knew our story We were objects of desire, always trying to go higher, ooh-ooh-ooh Now I sit here, quiet and still I wish I could take you, even against your will Oh, ballerina, ballerina Let me take you home It's a long night and a longer day Ballerina, ballerina Don't want to be alone We used to lovers, not so long ago You would dance for me, and I would dance for you All those golden days, they go so fast And we are dreamers, fooling while they last If we could be there again, there's nothing I wouldn't do, no Nothing I wouldn't do Oh, ballerina, ballerina Let me take you home It's a long night and a longer day Ballerina, ballerina I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna, I don't wanna Ballerina, ballerina I don't wanna be alone
