I hear people laughing on the corner, by the square   The neon flickers on my wall and I know you're out there   I've been in here a listening for your footsteps down the hall   And I'll be waiting for you after the ball      After the ball is over, after the ball   If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall   The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall   I'll be waiting for you after the ball      Loving you is sweet addiction, I need only you   Just as long as you come back we'll do what you want to   Give the night your laughter but I'll have you after all   I'll be waiting for you after the ball      After the ball is over, after the ball   If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall   The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall   I'll be waiting for you after the ball      After the ball is over, after the ball   If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall   The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall   I'll be waiting for you after the ball
