Lyrics

LUCY WANTS TO DANCE ALL NIGHT

CHORUS: Lucy wants to dance all night.
To forget about the man
That didn?t do her right.
He took her heart,
And headed for the Mexican border.
Now it?s Saturday Night
And no one can hold her.
What good is love?
When it comes down to it?
She?d rather be steppin?
To some Country music.
So let the band play
Till they turn-off the lights,
Cause Lucy?s gonna dance all night.
Verse: You think you know her?
But you really don?t know her.
She?s heard every line of bull
About money, mansions, and chauffeurs.
That may be the lifestyles of the rich and famous,
But what good is wealth, if you can?t make the payments?
Instead of a cheap romance,
She?d rather have a line-dance.
CHORUS: Lucy wants to dance all night.
To forget about the man
That didn?t do her right.
He took her heart,
And headed for the Mexican border.
Now it?s Saturday Night
She?s got no one to hold her.
What good is love?
When it comes down to it?
She?d rather be steppin
To some Country music.
So let the band play
Till they turn-off the lights,
Cause Lucy?s gonna dance all night.
Verse: She?s in her own world,
Every time she starts to twirl
She?s got the undivided eyes of all the womanizing guys
That long to hold her
But if you make your move
You?d better damned-well know
The Boot Scoot, Tush Push & Cotton-eyed Joe
Cause the only line that?s got a chance
Is, would you like to line-dance
CHORUS & OUT
