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
