lyrics

spin me around
we should have known
we’d be good as gone
heard the devil sing our song
i think we owe him one

so don’t you wanna stay
don’t you wanna play
don’t you wanna wait and see
don’t you wanna fly
don’t you wanna try
don’t you wanna fall in love with somebody

like me
tonight
the music’s just our alibi
so hold me tight
oh, honey we can dance
‘til we die

lick your lips
it’s gonna sting
when i clip your wings
come be my crooked king
i’ll be your anything

but don’t you cool off
don’t you back talk
don’t you stop till it hurts
don’t you wanna do
something brand new
don’t you wanna crawl across the universe

with me
tonight
the music’s just our alibi
so hold me tight
oh honey, we can dance
‘til we die

for just one night
morning it don’t have to matter
just tonight
you can be my ever after
hold me tight
feel my heart beat faster, faster
and it ain’t right
but honey, we can dance

we can dance

so don’t you wanna stay
don’t you wanna play
don’t you wanna…oh
don’t you pray
don’t you look away
don’t you ever let me go

for just tonight
the music’s just our alibi
for just one night
don’t you wonder where or why
no time is right
but no one’s ever been this high
so hold me tight
and honey, we can dance
‘til we die
