Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When he was a little boy he would dance it was such a sight Everybody said one day he would see his name up in lights Last Monday the man came in to turn off the electricity Mama cried and prayed, Oh, God, she said, Help me and these babies It was such a sad scene; so bleak and so stark But Donte said, Mama we gon' be alright And started dancing in the dark He was dancing in the dark Now Mama she's been out of work since she lost her temp job She's been mad and spending all her time in a Newport 100 fog As for the reason Mama lost her job, she won't tell nobody why But when she's in her room at night Donte wonders if that why she cries Trouble on the streets, trouble in his head And one night while he was out playing He found a woman that he knew lying dead It was such a sad scene, her eyes open, locked on the stars He went home to tell his momma but she was too busy playing cards So he went into his room, the pain cut sharp as a razor But he turned on the stereo and Michael told him it was all Human Nature He was dancing in the dark Today he was in a fight, he got slugged in the eye, he was never very quick But he had no choice; they said they saw his momma turning tricks No bread on the table, no money in sight And Mama's only happy when she was walking out the door at night When she's dancing in the dark Oh, street lights shine down on me You feel like a spotlight Does anybody see me here I might as well disappear Is there anyone out there Is there anyone out there
