Step to the left, step to the right
The middle of the floor feels safe tonight
Dancing on the edge of a dream
Move in close, will I like what I see?

Will I face it? Can I take it?
Laying my soul out on the line
Will the spaces just absorb me?
Will the walls live my lines?

A smiling face that no one really knows
Singin’ ‘bout the passion in my soul
Playin’ it safe, move in time with the beat
Take a chance, learn a new dance

Almost eighteen, a real lady now
I’ll keep trying to figure this life out
I wanna figure it out

Step to the left, step to the right
The middle of the floor feels safe tonight
