Dance, Dance

"Dance, Dance" is the second single from Fall Out Boy's third studio album From Under the Cork Tree. Released in 2006, the single reached #3 in the U.S., becoming their second Top 10 single. It also reached #6 on the Pop 100. The song peaked at #8 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming their second Top 10 hit there as well. This song has been included in multiple video games; Burnout Revenge, Madden 2006, the home version of Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA, SingStar Pop Hits, and the US version of SingStar Rocks!. It also appeared on the Brazilian version of Infinity on High, From Under the Cork Tree's 2007 follow-up. Pete Wentz prevented the Kidz Bop Kids from singing this on their latest Kidz Bop CD because of the sexual overtones to the song. The demo for the song includes an extra verse that was later cut out of the original.

[Verse 1] She says she's no good With words, but I'm worse Barely stuttered out A joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue Weighed down with words too Overdramatic Tonight, it's "it can't get much worse" Versus "No one should ever feel like..." [Pre-Chorus] I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I write them So you need them just to get by (...emal si namhorT eoJ) [Chorus] Dance, dance, we're falling apart to half time Dance, dance, and these are the lives you love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loved me [Verse 2] You always fold just Before you're found out Drink up, it's last call, last resort But only the first mistake, and I [Pre-Chorus] I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I write them So you need them just to get by [Bridge] Why don't you show me the little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress, love [Chorus] Dance, dance, we're falling apart to half time Dance, dance, and these are the lives you love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loved me [Bridge] Why don't you show me the little bit of spine You've been saving for his mattress (Mattress, mattress) I only want sympathy in the form of you Crawling into bed with me [Chorus] Dance, dance, we're falling apart to half time Dance, dance, and these are the lives you love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love (Way they'd love) Dance, this is the way they'd love me (Way they'd love) Dance, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loved me...
