All the lights are turned down low the couples are dancin'
Every girl and boy I know is dancin' but no one's with me
I danced alone dear, unwanted
Every step I take is haunted by your memory

Dance Puppet Dance the dream is ended now
I never stood a chance and my heart can't be mended now
The big romance don't mean a thing
He had me on a string Dance Puppet Dance

Oh why oh why do you have to do nothing but hurt me
Every time I think of you it hurts me all over again
I cry alone dear unwanted
Bring me back the love I wanted and end all this pain

Dance Puppet Dance the dream is ended now
I never stood a chance and my heart can't be mended now
The big romance don't mean a thing
He had me on a string Dance Puppet Dance

Dance Puppet Dance, Dance Puppet Dance
