[Verse 1] She swirls in the steam of a midnight cup Lipstick stain on the porcelain rim Little laugh Little spin Then she looks right up Eyes say stay Though the lights grow dim She traces hearts in the sugar and foam Whispers my name through a caramel sigh Tiny stage on a table for two Toe to heel She’s blurring the line [Chorus] Ballerina Cappuccina Dance slow on my tongue tonight Every sip pulls you deeper Curve close in the candlelight Ballerina Cappuccina You turn bitter into sweet One more taste Then another You keep dancing over me (mm, over me) [Verse 2] She kicks off sleep like a satin shoe Dark lace strap on a fragile wrist Cinnamon breath at the break of dawn Leaning in for a stolen sip She pirouettes through the weekday rush Turns my rush into melted time Drip Drip Drip Then a velvet hush When her fingers tangle with mine (oh) [Chorus] Ballerina Cappuccina Dance slow on my tongue tonight Every sip pulls you deeper Curve close in the candlelight Ballerina Cappuccina You turn bitter into sweet One more taste Then another You keep dancing over me (yeah, over me) [Bridge] [soft humming over swelling pads] (mmm-mmm) she’s spinning in circles (mmm-mmm) chalk dust and cocoa (mmm-mmm) her shadow on marble Body Aroma In time In time [Chorus] Ballerina Cappuccina Dance slow on my tongue tonight Every sip pulls you deeper Curve close in the candlelight Ballerina Cappuccina You turn bitter into sweet One more taste Then another You keep dancing over me (mmm, over me)
