Lyrics for One Last Dance

You rolled in like a storm and brought the rain Showered me with scorn and all your pain You told me you were torn in between days Now there's nothing I or Bobby Smith can say To chase this torrential torture away There just ain't words To say how sorry I am For acting like a schoolboy Trapped in a man And there's nothing I won't do For one last chance May I have this dance? Just one last dance? I blew back into town just like the wind Beyond repair, the damage that I did We both assumed we'd never speak again 'Til I saw you in those turquoise pumps And tight black vinyl pants I need you back, my friend There just ain't words To say how sorry I am For acting like a schoolboy Trapped in a man And there's nothing I won't do For one last chance May I have this dance? Just one last dance? I've been dancing with the ghost of my self I've been dancing with a ghost, it's true Take the heart in the jar off my shelf Pull it out and give it back to you Pull it out, give it back to you Pull it out, give it back to you There just ain't words To say how sorry I am For acting like a schoolboy Trapped in a man And there's nothing I won't do For one last chance May I have this dance? Just one last dance?
