Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   So you want to believe   Everything that you read   And you think that you're makin' the grade   (And) just when you're getting it made   You're still in love with her   She'd love you to kiss her   Hopin' you'll miss her   By takin' your mind off the load   Just when you're ready to go   You turn your back on her   You just got your mind on the things ahead   At last you're gonna be free   You'll only miss her   Just after you kiss her      Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   So you turn on the smiles   'Cause you think of the time   And nobody knows who you are   You don't think you'll get very far   I don't even know your name   At last they accept you   In case you go next year   And ask you to reach for the sky   And just when you're ready to die   They turn their back on you   So they put you on ice   In survival hotel   And wish you would die from the cold   When all you want is a night alone   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing the night away   Dancing, and the song you sing   Dancing, every move you make   Dancing, makes my body go   Dancing, right across the floor   Dancing   Dancing   Dancing
