Lyrics
I could hear the crowd applaud somebody dancing
And I looked up from the punch bowl, just in time to see
My best friend and my date glide ?cross the dance floor
Screaming out ?Great Balls of Fire? with Jerry Lee
He?s had a way with girls since back in grade school
His line of thinkin? seems to travel down a single track
Even though I?d give my right arm for a good friend
Right now I?d sell my soul to get her back
CHORUS: ?Cause she?s dancing with the Devil
1. And that?s not the kind of guy an angel needs
2. And he?s charming her in ways I can?t believe
If I could just show her the light,
She?d come back to me tonight
She?s dancing w/ the devil & she?s letting him lead
He?s pulling moves just like he?s in the movies
He?s whispering in her ear, with a voice as smooth as sin
Can?t believe my angel?s falling for temptation
I?ve got to find the courage to cut in CHORUS:
BRIDGE: I think the fire she?s feeling, is only smoke & mirrors
She?s left the good guy standing in the cold?to be? CHORUS
