You’re on the floor in his embrace,

A smile lights up your pretty face.

I try to hide what’s in my eyes,

This jealousy I can't disguise.

We said we’d keep it loose and free,

No chains, no talk of you and me.

Now I’m wishin’ I’d played it smart,

'Cause you’ve gone and twisted my heart.

The band plays slow, the lights are low,

And I can’t stand to let you go.

I’m done pretendin’ that I'm okay,

Every time that you look my way.

I'm gonna walk right up to you,

And say the words you need me to.

If I don't get my timin' just right,

He might be gettin' lucky tonight.

You catch my eye from across the floor,

That look says I can’t wait no more.

I start movin' my boots real fast,

I know this chance ain't gonna last.

You turn his way as I’m halfway there,

I hear your breath, I feel his stare.

I take your hand and pull you away,

And tell you I got something to say.

The band plays slow, the lights are low,

And I can’t stand to let you go.

I’m done pretendin’ that I'm okay,

Every time that you look my way.

I'm gonna walk right up to you,

And say the words you need me to.

If I don't get my timin' just right,

He might be gettin' lucky tonight.

Girl, I never meant to fall this deep,

Your love is somethin' I wanna keep.

So take my hand and don’t say a word,

I'll show you that your message was heard.

The band plays slow, the lights are low,

And I can’t stand to let you go.

I’m done pretendin’ that I'm okay,

Every time that you look my way.

That's why I walked right up to you,

To say the words you need me to.

I had to get my timin' just right,

Say yes, and make me lucky tonight.
