[Verse 1] You were standing by the doorway when I caught you looking over Then you turned around so quickly, almost knocking over your soda I walked up and said, "Hey, what's the matter? Did I do something today?" You said, "Not that I remember," but your smile gave you away Now you're asking all my friends if I'm going to the party And you somehow end up beside me every time the music starts If you're trying to be mysterious, you're not as good as you believe But I have to say I'm having fun with all the tricks you try on me [Chorus] We're dancing around the truth And everybody knows it You can try to play it cool But you're never gonna show it We're dancing around the truth Going round and round again If you want to tell me something Baby, tell me when! [Verse 2] You finally asked me for a dance like it was no big deal Then you held me just a little closer than you probably meant to feel I said, "Is this your usual way of making conversation?" You said, "I'm working on my technique," and I nearly lost my patience Then the music changed, you spun me, and I landed in your arms You looked at me and laughed like you couldn't understand your charm I could tell you had a question that you didn't want to ask So I gave you one more chance before we got back to the dance [Chorus] We're dancing around the truth And everybody knows it You can try to play it cool But you're never gonna show it We're dancing around the truth Going round and round again If you want to tell me something Baby, tell me when! [Instrumental Break] [Bright synthesizer melody trades playful phrases with clean electric guitar over a bouncy synth bass and crisp programmed drums. Colorful late-80s Minneapolis dance-pop groove.] [Bridge] I could make it easy, I could tell you how I feel But I kinda like the mystery, I kinda like the thrill Still, we're running out of reasons to pretend that this is new So I'll ask you one more question: Are you dancing just with me? [Final Chorus] We're dancing around the truth And everybody knows it You can try to play it cool But you're never gonna show it We're dancing around the truth Going round and round again If you want to tell me something Baby, tell me when! [Final Chorus — Variation] We're dancing around the truth Come on, let's get through it If you've got something on your mind Baby, let's just do it! We're dancing around the truth But the night is almost through You can stop pretending anytime I'm waiting here for you!
