When I saw you guys dancing in the sun
a shadow fell on my heart
You were the worst mistake she ever made
And she laughed too loud at your jokes
yes I know you were funny
But I couldn't laugh...
because I knew where it would lead.

Now the anger has drowned out all the jokes,
she doesn't laugh anymore
See the pain in her smile
And she's tried, yes she's tried to run away
but you would not let her go
You are her ball and her chain

Now I wish you were dancing in the sun
but the steps were all wrong
So release her from her chains now
With your jokes you imprisoned her heart
you never gave her a chance
She never knew you couldn't dance...

Now the anger has drowned out all the jokes
she doesn't laugh anymore
See the pain in her smile
And she's tried, yes she's tried to run away
but you would not let her go
You are her ball and her chain

Now I wish you were dancing in the sun
but the steps were all wrong
So release her from her chains now
With your jokes you imprisoned her heart
you never gave her a chance
She never knew you couldn't dance...

Now the anger has drowned out all the jokes
she doesn't laugh anymore
See the pain in her smile
And she's tried, yes she's tried to run away
but you would not let her go
You are her ball and her chain

Now I wish you were dancing in the sun
but the steps were all wrong
So release her from her chains now
With your jokes you imprisoned her heart
you never gave her a chance
She never knew you couldn't dance...
