Baby Was A Dancer - Billy Porter

My heart was a dancer No, you don't need to know her name She could turn right on a nickel And give you back four cents and change My heart was a dancer She made her living on her toes Now, what she ever saw in me Only God and Heaven knows I used to sit at my table Just me and a whiskey all alone Watchin' my heart dance And each night I'd try to take her home Others would try to show my heart A better way to feel My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please don't be still My heart was a dancer I'd love to see her dancin' now Pretty and graceful Still beating just for me somehow My heart was a dancer Another lifetime ago She was real for me But for the others, it was all just a show I used to sit at my table Just me and a whiskey all alone Watchin' my heart dance And each night I'd try to take her home Others would try and show my heart A better way to feel My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please don't be still My heart was a dancer Oh, heart, please don't be still

I stand accused of talking But I feel that we are falling In the same old groove The radio is playing Spitting out the same old news It's time to get up, get out Get out into something new Time to get up, get out Out into something new Everybody wants somebody's fantasy Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams Everybody wants somebody's fantasy Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams If I was a woman, I would want a new man every night If I was a woman, I would want a new man every night If I was a politician, make sure I was the best in sight If I was a woman, I would want a new man every night The poor man eyes the rich man Denigrates his poverty The rich man eyes the poor man And envies his simplicity Everybody wants somebody's fantasy Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams If I was a movie star, five million dollars would be my price If I was a trucker, I'd drive for seven days and seven lonely Nights If I was a drummer, I would never miss the beat If I was a dancer, y'all would never see my feet If I was a hooker, a thousand dollars would be my price, all right If I was a candidate for President, I'd make sure I had a steady wife If I was a millionaire, I'd spend all my money in one crazy night I am what I am Yeah, my my boss I am what I am My dreams can't be bought Yeah, I said now I tear across the dollar Just to end this day with you Yeah, I am what I am I am my own boss Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams Everybody want somebody's fantasy Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams Everybody want somebody's fantasy Everybody wants somebody's crazy dreams

I've been drunk all night You keep calling Are they happy now? Watchin' us falling Secret we should hide Don't know if I can It's who we are This is who I am Oh tonight they are up for love But our world Isn't ready To Understand us Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us Driving to the hills Chasing the sun We are just two boys Don't know why we run If we end it now Heavens got no tears We can fly so high Far away from here Find some light They are up for love But our world Isn't ready If there's open scars Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us Let them going You know we should try Oh you know we should try If this what we want You know in our lives It happens just one time There's only one chance Remember I would be with you Even though we're letting go Guess I need to find someone like you If this is what I have to do 'Cause the Odds are against us

I'm tired of fightin' It really messed me up this time Tired of tryin' I'm ready to leave it all behind I don't wanna lose my other me Am I really still right here? I wanna drown with it, I, I... Let the rain come You can never leave the soul unguided I'm still crawling, I can't see no sky yet But sometimes love can come from nothing But love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me This place reminds me I keep my eyes wide shut to hide Denying you're gone now And I am down here all alone Some say that time will heal me I need to get to higher ground But I wanna feel it, I, I... Let the pain come You can never leave the soul unguided I'm still crawling, I can't see no sky yet On broken wings I'm barely flyin' But love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me I need to get home But I keep on holding on, holding on Love don't break me I need to get home But I keep on holding on, holding on Love don't break me Love don't break me You can never leave the soul unguided I'm still crawling, I can't see no sky yet On broken wings I'm barely flyin' But love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me Love don't break me
