You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor

Step ball change into season change
Into different shoes, into older age
Oh it takes two to tango, but you never seem to mind
A third dancer
A third romancer
Two steps in to another empty space
Two steps in and a move is out of place
I've been trying so hard to keep in time
Are we dancing out of time?
[Get back in line]

Shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor

Plead, hey, oh I plead hey
Can you see me
Through the formation?
I've got two left feet and I'm far too weak
I've always been an understudy
I know you would never love me
Here comes your twist and shout
You can never give up
I can't always give the fullest performance
When you're around

Shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor
Shaking me off, shaking me off
[Get back in line]
