It all seemed so innocent, a night on the town
Just to dance to a good song or two
But she sensed her mistake, when the band started playin'
and the old ache started comin' through. 'cause,
chorus: It was dangerous music and she knew it from the start
The song they were playin' was breakin' her heart
It was dangerous music and so hard to bear
'cause it made her remember a time when she used to care.
Her heart started racin' and her face got so pale
the ice in her drink was rattlin' like hail
A flood of old memories came racin' by:
A man and a story and a reason to lie.
chorus:
Then somebody asked her, "Is it on for tonight?"
So, she coughed up a smile 'cause he'd purchased the right
She took a deep breath and she stood up to go.
But, the crowd never noticed. They just didn't know
