Dancing With a Ghost Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I was gonna choose the one for me
He'd naturally be cool but not know it
At least six feet of height, and easy on the eyes
My friends would think he's nice, 'cause he shows it

[Pre-Chorus]
I was so caught up in all the wrong guys
Didn't know I could find love in my mind
Snips & snails & puppy dog tales
Never forget the little details
Make-believe, but I'll be alright
Me and my flawless Frankenstein
Woah, oh

[Chorus]
You're so picture perfect, eyes closed
I made myself a lover out of gold
You are my creation in my imagination
You won't see me crying no more
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost

[Verse 2]
My diamond in the rough, I would flaunt it
Manipulate his touch, how I wanted
He would get it right, hit it every time
Better than real life, if I'm honest
[Pre-Chorus]
I was so caught up in all the wrong guys
Didn't know I could find love in my mind
Snips & snails & puppy dog tales
Never forget the little details
Make-believe, but I'll be alright
Me and my flawless Frankenstein
Woah, oh

[Chorus]
You're so picture perfect, eyes closed
I made myself a lover out of gold
You are my creation in my imagination
You won't see me crying no more
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost

[Bridge]
I got someone to hold me
I'm all I need when I'm lonely
All night I'm dancing with a ghost

[Chorus]
You're so picture perfect, eyes closed
I made myself a lover out of gold
You are my creation in my imagination
You won't see me crying no more
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost, ghost, ghost
When I'm dancing with a ghost
