met her down
at the Queen of Clubs
Stayed too long, drank too much
and lost control
I just watched her go
And the name she used was Angel
She drank wine, Irish Rose
wore a cowboy hat
and a diamond in her nose
A hell of a dancer, don't you know?
One hell of a dancer,
don't you know?
She poured out a hard luck story
Lord, she loved to cry the blues
She took me for a twinning
And she's to show her tattoo
That's what dancers do
That's what dancers do
I asked her if she's married
She said no
How about you?
What you drinking?
Pretty quick thinking
Then she lit up a cigarette
and on a matchbook back
She wrote down her number
At her mother's Almost won me over,
don't you know
Pretty much won me over,
don't you know
I went off to pay my tab
Just before the joint shut down at two
She took me for another twenty
and ran off to find some other fool
That's what dancers do
That's what dancers do
Oh, get up, somebody's dan
cing to you
If she knows how to turn you on,
she'll lead you on like
you ain't got a clue
It's all about the money
and it ain't funny,
she leaves you sad and blue
Hey, it's just what dancers do
It's what dancers do
That's what dancers do
That's what dancers do
That's what dancers do
Where you going, honey?
That's what dancers do
Your mama's sick.
What about your college?
I was gonna pay for your college.
You gotta love them.
That's what dancers do.
