All dances for a fretful mind So how do I dress so that I will look nice I swallow my pride and ask someone I like To go to the prom with my fingers crossed tight Teenage thoughts are selfish and unkind But we make an effort, if for just one night I cut my hair and I buy some flowers I walk around my room for hours All for the chance of a kiss when the night ends Yeah, all for the chance of a kiss when the night ends She takes me onto the dancefloor With a twinkle in her eye She whispers some words into my ear And I blush towards the sky In love In love In love In love At twelve we go to Someone's house party A friend of a friend of someone unlikely And at the party They're all so naughty Some curious smoke and some light And boys on boys She pulls my hand Dragged up the stairs Pushes me to an empty room She puts her finger on my lips And tells me Hush now, don't you speak my child Corrupts me gently Don't you speak my child Corrupts me gently Hush now, don't you speak my child Corrupts me gently Now hush now, don't you speak my child Corrupts me gently Hush now, don't you speak my child
