Standin’ in a dim-lit corner
Of the teen dance hall
But still I can’t answer
When the music calls
My baby’s gone
Can’t dance alone 42
All the kids are boppin’
Driftin’ with the beat
But all I hear my lonely heart is
A shuffle of their feet
My baby’s gone
Can’t dance alone
How long must I stand here
Listening to the beat
Why can’t I leave my blues behind
And dance my poor heart free
My baby’s gone
Can’t dance alone
No-one can replace her
In this heart of mine
So I guess I’m wasting
The music and my time
My baby’s gone
Can’t dance alone
I guess I shouldn’t hang around
For she may drop on by
And I know she’s sure to dance
With some other guy
My baby’s gone
Can’t dance alone
My baby’s gone
Can’t dance alone
