She grew up too fast in the moonlight

Taught herself all that she knew

Nobody knew what she looked like

When she took off her dancin' shoes

There were men who woulda loved to mistreat her

Were a few to whom she gave the chance

But she'll never take a ring on her finger

All she ever loved was the dance

And it's back and forth in two-steps and waltzes

Draggin' her heart behind through all the songs

If anyone knew the pain she'd been hidin'

They'd never think she was doin' wrong

There are a few who claim she's just an angel

Wearin' a clever disguise

And if you could see past her old broken halo

She might take your hand for the night

Don't ask her too many questions

She'll talk if she wants you to know

And don't bother tryin' to get her number

In the mornin', she likes to lay low

But if you're lucky enough just to witness

The way she moves over the floor

You might see that she ain't of this world

Might see somethin' you can't ignore

And it's back and forth in two-steps and waltzes

Draggin' her heart behind through all the songs

If anyone knew the pain she'd been hidin'

They'd never think she was doin' wrong

There are a few who claim she's just an angel

Wearin' a clever disguise

And if you could see past her old broken halo

She might take your hand for the night

There were men who would've loved to mistreat her

There were a few to whom she gave the chance

But she'll never take a ring on her finger

All she ever loved was the dance
