Margarida has a strange appeal Sways between suitors on a broken heel Of course her desires they always mistook She'd rather've been scarred than be scarred with loathe
In conversation she often contends Costumes build customs that involve dead ends She found her courage in a change of scene This Sunday's social would be short its queen
All her best years spent distracted By these tired reenactments With the right step she'll try her chances somewhere else
There he is a step outside her view Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue Night upon night a faithful light at shore If he'd only convince his legs across the floor
Please, don't watch me dancing Oh, no, don't watch me dancing
Something changes when she glances Enough to teach you what romance is With the right step they try their chances somewhere else
Please, don't watch me dancing Don't watch me dancing
Please, don't watch me dancing (don't watch me dancing, don't watch me dancing) Don't watch me dancing (don't watch me dancing)
Please, don't watch me dancing (don't watch me dancing, don't watch me dancing) Don't watch me dancing (don't watch me dancing, don't watch me dancing)
Don't watch me dancing (don't watch me dancing, don't watch me dancing) Don't watch me dancing (don't watch me dancing, don't watch me dancing)
