You watch the dancer steal your heart away

There is nothing you can do, nothing you can say

Well, you can watch the love go by but you can't bring it home

'Cause the dancer loves a man and he calls her his own

From behind the stage you stare as the angel spreads her wings

Something in you wants to cry out loud, but instead you sing

La la-la la la, la la-la la la, oh

The angel turns, she hears your voice, and you think you see her smile

But in a moment, the glance is gone, for she's dancing all the while

And as she bows to leave the stage and the crowd calls out for more

She disappears inside a maze that leads her through a door

Your heart falls on the floor

You watch the dancer steal your heart away

There's nothing you can do, nothing you can say

Well, you can watch the love go by but you can't bring it home

'Cause the dancer loves a man and he calls her his own

'Cause the dancer loves a man and he calls her his own
