lights down low
set the mood
stage the show . . .
we're just friends
but they don't know
do they know?

colored lights
pass us by
flying high
and all around . . .

the night was a sensation;
two leaving, two coming
two trains in a station.

ball gowns
masks coming down,
magical
ethereal
fairy tale . . .


and we were there . . .

one hand on your shoulder
the other interlaced with yours.
our song's not playing,
but one second to the next
and it was all fading . . .

i look up
and all i could see
was you looking
back at me . . .
allowed myself to stare
just long enough
do i dare?
until i was thinking you're
mine, mine, mine . . .
but who am i fooling?

you're another girl's man
who am i?
who am i?
to think that i have you,
when i let you go
i let you go . . .
i don't regret it but
i should have known
what i was getting myself into
when i said we could still be friends,
guess i lied
guess i lied . . .

everyone we knew
became foggy figures
just dancing in the dark,
with the red lights low
within the glow, green-purple halo . . .

i tried to look away,
look away . . .
like i was scared
like i was fine
like you were mine
like i was well
but i was terrified . . .

should i be feeling this?
should i be feeling this now, darling? . . .
i don't know if i want to,
i don't know what it is
but i don't think i should be . . .


i look down
and all i could feel
was you looking
back at me . . .
never allowing myself to stare
long enough
do i dare?
to convince myself that you're
mine, mine, mine . . .
but who was i fooling?

you're another girl's man
another girl's man
and who am i?
who am i?
to think that i had you,
when i let you go
i let you go . . .
i don't regret it but
i should have known
what i was getting myself into
when i said we could still be friends,
guess i lied
guess i lied . . .
