Reba McEntire
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I don't mind to give you a slow dance or two I'm sorry I'm not at my best I know you can see I'm incredibly blue But I'm not that lonely yet I look in your eyes while you're dancing with me And try to fulfill your request But don't ask for favors when it's time to leave Cause I'm not that lonely yet Now don't say you want me I've heard that before The words weigh like stones in my head There may come a time when I'll think of you more But I'm not that lonely yet It's nice to be dancing To waltzes again And maybe it helps to forget You've opened the door but I'm not waltzing in Cause I'm not that lonely yet No I'm not that lonely yet
