So turn off all the lights Dressed up just like a movie star At all the parties they'll know who you are Wouldn't it be great, to be fashionably late? So why don't you wait, till you're sedated Pre-chorus: Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight? Chorus: Yeah what I'm saying is do you, do you want to lose it all? Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug You can't wait to fall in love All I'm saying is do you, do you want to learn to fly? Then you should pack it up and say goodbye Cause when the push comes to the shove It's just a dance hall drug Step in and you can lock the door The candles are lit and the clothes on the floor You could take a chance on finding romance Now you're holding hands But he's got other plans Tick-tock, the clock is turning red The room won't stop spinning and thoughts in your head And it's too late You feel like you're making a big mistake You should've waited (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) Bridge: Just wait love Show 'em what you're made of Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight? (Repeat chorus until end) www.TAB6.com
