Born to Act

There is a girl on the floor, she dances way out She’s a snub nose beauty, she’s a no doubt But if I talk to her, I even look hard She’ll be out of this place and she’ll be out of my life So we busted a move we got the hell out We got stories to tell, we got our whole life We drink coffee till late because we jet lagged We put a fortune into the greatest Music machine in the land Play a wonderful song to me and it’s better than a date Play the tune where the girl sings high She’s my lover surrogate And the waitress is rolling by, shining high Smiling for a tip Every boy dreams of it So the girl dances in, she takes the next booth I break the rule of my life, I make a big move Cause my accent is funny, got a head start If you wanna make good, you got to use what you got We go with her friends and there’s a big crowd There’s a girl who can’t stand up till she falls down There’s a pressure that’s building and it’s too late Cause she leaves in the morning, there’s a flight It’s a family affair Play a wonderful song to me and it’s better than a date Play the tune where the girl sings high She’s my lover surrogate And the waitresses rolling by, shining high Smiling for a tip Every boy dreams of it So we met a month later, she had long hair She was driving the bus I paid the full fare It was easy to talk and she drove real fast And she told me the story of her dirty old past All the boys she had loved and all the bad sex All the things she must learn and all her prospects I was there for the ride and for the old soul But we couldn’t go further, no we couldn’t go But we couldn’t go further, no we couldn’t go But we couldn’t go further cause the story was already told
