She's Only Happy When She's Dancin'

(album: Reckless - 1984)

Monday morning it's time to get up
Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus
Looks in the window and fixes her hair
Nobody notices and nobody cares

She admits it ain't no kinda life
Working 9 to 5 you know...

She's only happy when she's dancing
There ain't no place she'd rather be
When she's dancing
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies

When Friday evening finally rolls around
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown
Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain"
Nothing matters until Monday so she goes insane

Well it's a bitch trying to make ends meet
But that's the way the story goes
She's only happy when she's dancing
There ain't nothing makes her feel so free
When she's dancing
The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see

[Solo]

She ain't got much but she got independence
Ya she's doing alright
His eyes are on her as the evenin's ending
But she ain't going for no mystery
Because nobody rides for free

She's only happy when she's dancing
Dancing there ain't no place she'd rather be
When she's dancing
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies dancing
