0:58When you waltz right in here lookin' like that

1:04I just can't stand it to see him on the town

1:09He's out slow dancing with every girl around

1:15I'm a softhearted woman he's a hardheaded man

1:18And he's gonna make me feel just as bad as he can

1:24But now he's dancing on this heart of mine
