Tap dancing, falling over my own two feet Hoping that you like what you see in disguise I’m tap dancing, making up the moves as I go along Forgetting all the words to my song until I cry
Just doing what I can For you to like me Hiding the clown I am Deep down inside me
Don’t look too closely, just clap your hands Don’t think you know me, just cue the band Let me tap dance for you Let me tap dance for you
Tap dancing over all the marks on the floor Pretending that I might be something more than a smile I’m tap dancing, maybe I’m asking for too much Maybe I should just give it up for a while
And let the curtain fall And face the ugly I shouldn’t have to dance at all For you to love me
Don’t look too closely, just clap your hands Don’t think you know me, just cue the band And let me tap dance for you Let me tap dance for you
I really wanna take off these shoes But I’m afraid of the truth That I’m not enough for you
Don’t look too closely, just understand No need to judge me, just be a fan Let me tap dance for you Let me tap dance for you
