Girls on the TV

Ricky played the flute but she never had a use for it Miming her part in the school band, while I took a solo On the saxophone and I learned harmony But she could dance, she could move, like the girls on the TV Mum took her to Johnny Young Talent School, but she quit She said that she got scared when they made her do the splits She tried tap school and blew the teacher away But the girls in the class teased her, saying she was too chubby I remember when she told me She cried in shame I told her not to worry We can do anything I told her one day we'd be beautiful And maybe we could start a band 'Cause I was born to sing And she was born to dance She was born to dance like the Girls on the TV Girls on the TV She could always dance better than the Girls on the TV 10am R&B Well she could always dance better than me Well she was bullied all day and made to feel like a fool Mum was born again and decided to send her to the Christian school On Thursdays her friends would dance in the spirit At the school church, but Ricky laughed and never believed in it We moved in with Mum's first boyfriend after Dad He was only 21 and he'd always get mad While I hid in my room writing poems after school He tried to kiss Ricky on the piano stool I remember when she told me She was on cocaine Well I felt like I didn't know her Or how she got that way Now, her lovers are all married I wear my wedding ring on my right hand Well maybe we weren't born to settle down No, I was born to sing And she was born to dance like the Girls on the TV Girls on the TV She could always dance better than the Girls on the TV 10am R&B She could always dance better than the Girls on the TV She could always dance better than the Girls on the TV 10am R&B She could always dance better than the Girls on the TV She could always dance better than the Girls on the TV Always dance better than the Girls on the TV Always dance better than the Girls on the TV
