Ballroom Blitz Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me, ah-ha
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
I see a man at the back as a matter of fact
And his eyes are as red as the sun
And a girl in the corner, let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it was like lightnin'
Everybody was frightenin'
And the music was soothin'
And they all started groovin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
"It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"

[Post-Chorus]
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm reachin' out for something
Touching nothing's all I'll ever do, oh yeah
I softly call you over
When you appear, there's nothing left of you
Well, now the man in the back is ready to crack
As he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of an eye

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh yeah, it was electric
So frightenin' and hectic
And the band started leavin'
'Cause they all stopped breathin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
"It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"

[Post-Chorus]
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
[Bridge]
Oh, it was like lightnin'
Everybody was frightenin'
And the music was soothin'
And they all started groovin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
"It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"

[Chorus]
And the man at the back said, "Everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I wanna warn ya"
"It'll turn into a ballroom blitz"

[Post-Chorus]
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
A one, two, three, four!
