Christine
Tell me something
Did he ever lay you down like this
I know you're crazy
And busy dancing
You've seen legs wrapped and worn
You're fearless
Christine
What's the one thing
You would never have thought you'd miss
I know you're crazy
And busy dancing
Looking out at the lights
You're fearless
Will you tighten your curls
Shiny brown skin
Up on your toes
We'll strap you in
Christine (x2)
Tell me something
Have you ever laid down like this
I know you're crazy
And busy dancing
You've seen legs wrapped and worn
