A Place Like This - Walking Papers

Her smile was an invitation

To start a conversation

So I moved in closer wearing

Too much cologne

I asked her if she came here often

If she might like a drink

Said I think we should find some place where

We can be alone

She said, «I must be going»

So I grabbed her by the wrist

I said, «what's the girl like you doing

Alone in a place like this?»

I desired her attention

So I decided I should mention

If she felt like dancing

Well, there was room on the floor

I said, «let's spend some time together

Let’s get to know each other»

I felt like maybe

We’ve met some place before

A more fabulous dancer

Did not exist

So I asked her what she’s doing

Alone in a place like this

I longed for a connection

I spun her in all directions

Feeling light on her feet

Is what she enjoys the most

While admiring her complexion

I came across my lonely reflection

And I realized that I have been dancing

Not with a woman, but with a ghost

So I pulled myself together

Hoping no-one noticed

What’s a guy like me doing dancing

Alone in a place like this

Alone in a place like this

Alone in a place like this
