Dance ballerina dance
And do your pirouette in
rhythm with your aching heart
Dance ballerina dance
You mustn't once forget
a dancer has to dance the part
Whirl ballerina whirl
And just ignore the chair
that's empty in the second row
This is your moment girl
Although he's not out there
applauding as you
steal the show
Once you said
His love must wait it's turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone ballerina gone
Go on with your career
You can't afford a
backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have
come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina dance
Dance
Dance
Once you said
His love must wait it's turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone ballerina gone
So on with your career
You can't afford a
backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have
come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina dance
Dance
Dance dance dance
