And the [bad word] hits the beat 
and the guitar sings the chords 
The singer starts to sing 
and I move a little bit closer 
I made a promise to myself 
never to go near you again 
I said I will go anywhere but there 

It’s now or never I cannot choose not to 
May I dance with you 
may I hold you close 
may I touch your breast 
and make love to you 
May I make a terrible mistake with you 
may I make a wonderful mistake with you 
I said I will go anywhere but there 

Oh, I recognize the smell 
and I recognize this voice 
and I recognize this breath 
but I don’t recognize this choice 
Made a promise to myself 
never to go near you again 
I said I will go anywhere but there 

It’s now or never I cannot choose not to 
May I dance with you 
may I hold you close 
may I touch your breast 
and make love to you 
May I make a terrible mistake with you 
may I make a wonderful mistake with you 
I said I will go anywhere but there
