Lyrics
Nothing you can do
Damage been done
You caught him in the rest room
With another one
When everybody’s looking at you
Crying’s not the right thing to do
Don’t run for the door
Get back on the floor
Don’t give them what they’re waiting for
D D D Dance Your Pain Away D D D Dance Your Pain Away Let there be rumors Pay no attention Lock your tears inside and show some pride D D D Dance Your Pain Away D D D Dance Your Pain Away Create an illusion Cause some confusion Lock your tears inside and show some pride
Pictures in your mind
Tearing at your heart
You’re breaking into pieces
But you can’t fall apart
When everybody’s looking at you
Better shine the whole night through
Don’t run for the door
Get back on the floor
Don’t give them what they’re waiting for
Chorus
Nothing he got nothing, he got nothing, he got nothing on you (on you)
Nothing he got nothing, he got nothing, he got nothing on you (on you)
Nothing you can do
Damage been done
Don’t give them what they’re waiting for
