Don't Watch Me Dancing

Margarida has a strange appeal

Sways between suitors on a broken heel

Of course, her desires they always mistook

She'd rather been scarred than be scarred with love

In conversation she often contend

Costumes built customs that involve dead ends

She found her courage in a change of scene

This Sunday-social would be short its queen

All her best years spent distracted

By these tired reenactments

With the right steps

She will try her chances

Somewhere else

There he is, a step outside her view

Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue

Night upon night a faithful light at shore

If he'd only convince his legs across the floor

Please don't watch me dancing

Oh no

Don't watch me dancing

Something changes when she glances

Enough to teach you what romance is

With the right steps they could try their chances

Somewhere else

Please don't watch me dancing

Don't watch me dancing

Please don't watch me dancing

Don't watch me dancing
