Dance, Ballerina, Dance

Dance, ballerina, dance
 And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart
 Dance, ballerina, dance
 You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part
 Whirl, ballerina, whirl
 And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row
 This is your moment, girl
 Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show
 Once you said
 His love must wait its turn
 You wanted fame instead
 I guess that's your concern
 We live and learn
 And love is gone, ballerina, gone
 So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
 Dance on and on and on
 A thousand people here have come to see the show
 As 'round and 'round you go
 So ballerina, dance
