Take another step, tell another lie Hide another tear in the corner of your eye I don't understand What kind of game is this we're playing Dancin' in the dark, shadow's in the night Slowly going wrong, trying to make it right The silence is so loud I can't hear the words we're saying Anyone can do the heartbreak Everybody knows the dance Oh, it's so easy to do You tear a dream in two to kill a true romance Anyone can do the heartbreak Anyone can make love end It's gonna take a little pain Some fire and some rain to bring it back again I know you're afraid, baby, so am I You think you're going to fall, all you want to do is fly We're up against the wall And love is the chance we're taking So baby, look into my heart, tell me can't you see I belong with you, you belong with me? When I hold you in my arms We can hear the music playing Anyone can do the heartbreak Everybody knows the dance Oh, it's so easy to do You tear a dream in two to kill a true romance Anyone can do the heartbreak Anyone can make love end It's gonna take a little pain Some fire and some rain to bring it back again And it's one step forward and two steps back Well, we keep on moving But we're only losing ground We've got to turn this love around Anyone can do the heartbreak Everybody knows the dance Oh, it's so easy to do You tear a dream in two to kill a true romance Anyone can do the heartbreak Anyone can make love end It's gonna take a little pain Some fire and some rain to bring it back again Anyone can do the heartbreak Everybody knows the dance Oh, it's so easy to do You tear a dream in two to kill a true romance Anyone can do the heartbreak Anyone can make love end It's gonna take a little pain Some fire and some rain to bring it back again
