Lyrics Dan Hartman – Ballerina (Let Me Take You Home)

There goes a ballerina, everybody knows her story
But every night, you can see her put it all behind her, oh-oh
Watch her spin, under the pale moonlight
Will you ever dance for me again, maybe tonight?

Oh, ballerina, ballerina
Let me take you home
It’s a long night and a longer day
Ballerina, ballerina
I don’t wanna be alone, no
Oh, ballerina, oh-oh-oh

I was a ballerina, everybody knew our story
We were objects of desire, always trying to go higher, ooh-ooh-ooh
Now I sit here, quiet and still
I wish I could take you, even against your will

Oh, ballerina, ballerina
Let me take you home
It’s a long night and a longer day
Ballerina, ballerina
Don’t want to be alone

We used to lovers, not so long ago
You would dance for me, and I would dance for you
All those golden days, they go so fast
And we are dreamers, fooling while they last
If we could be there again, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do, no

Nothing I wouldn’t do

Oh, ballerina, ballerina
Let me take you home
It’s a long night and a longer day
Ballerina, ballerina
I don’t wanna be alone
