Lyric Sweet Sucker Dance

I almost closed the door
Cancelled on everything we opened up for
Tonight the shadows had their say
Their sad notions of the way
Things really are
Damn these blues!
They d turn my heart against you
Since I was fool enough
To find romance
I m trying to convince myself
This is just a dance!

We move in measures
Through loves changing faces
Needy and nonchalant
Greedy and gracious
Through petty dismissals
And grand embraces
Like it was only a dance!

We are survivors
Some get broken
Some get mended
Some can t surrender
They re too well defended
Some get lucky
Some are blessed
And some pretend
This is only a dance!

We re dancing fools
You and me
Tonight it s a dance of insecurity
It s my solo
While you re away
Shadows have the saddest thing to say

Love
We can t live without it
Why do we go out and get it
Just to turn around and doubt it
LIke we re scared to care
It s hard to talk about it
Aw--it s only a dance
Tonight the shadows had their say
There s a sucker born a day
I heard them say
Born to lose
Am I a sucker to love you?

You re such a sweet love
You re a proud man
You re a treasure
Time passes gracefully
Living can be such a pleasure
You make it easy to take it in measures
Like it was only a dance!

We re dancing fools
You and me
Tonight it s a dance of insecurity
It s my solo
Blue way
And shadows have the saddest things to say

We are survivors
Some get broken
Some get mended
Some can t surrender
They re too well defended
Some get lucky
Some are blessed
And some pretend
It s only a dance!
