The band plays, the girls sway
And over by the bar, I sit and wait.
"Make a request, they know everything" the barmaid says.
I pay for my drink. You light a cigarette, from the candle at your table.
And in your torn blue jeans you make a stand.

Sad girl, dance with me.
The only one I'll ever need.
Behind the smoke, and bar room lights
You hold me close, with just your eyes
Sad girl, dance with me.

With your hands in your pocket, you lean in close,
So I can see your locket.
You say "My Bobbie died, 5 years ago.
"And some girls think. That they can find their answers in a diamond ring. Well diamonds will jade you, now you know."

Sad girl, dance with me.
The only one I'll ever need.
Behind the smoke, and bar room lights
You hold me close, with just your eyes
Sad girl, dance with me.
