Oh, it's been get-ting so hard
Liv-ing with the things you do to me
Uh, huh
Why things are get-ting so strange
I like to tell you eve-ry-thing I see
Mmm, hmm
I see a man at the back
as a mat-ter of fact
And his eyes are
as red as the sun
And the girl in the cor-ner
let no one ig-nore her
'Cos she thinks she's
the pas-sion-ate one
Oh yeah, it was like lightn-ing
Eve-ry-bo-dy was fright-ening
And the mus-ic was sooth-ing
and they all start-ed groov-ing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the man at the back
said "Eve-ry-one at-tack"
And it turned in-to a ball-room blitz
And the girl in the cor-ner
said "Boy I wan-na warn ya
It-'ll turn in-to a ball-room blitz"
Ball-room blitz, ball-room blitz
Ball-room blitz, ball-room blitz
I'm reach-ing out for some-thing
But touch-ing noth-ing's all I ev-er do
I soft-ly call you ov-er,
When you ap-pear there's
noth-ing left of you, uh huh
And the man at the back
is rea-dy to crack
as he rais-es his hands to the sky
And the girl in the cor-ner
is eve-ry-one's mourn-er
She could kill you
with the wink of her eye
Oh yeah, It was el-ec-tric
So posit-ive-ly hec-tic
And the band start-ed leav-ing
'Cos they all stopped breath-ing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the man at the back
said "Eve-ry-one at-tack"
And it turned in-to a ball-room blitz
And the girl in the cor-ner
said "Boy I wan-na warn ya
It-'ll turn in-to a ball-room blitz"
Ball-room blitz

Ball-room blitz, ball-room blitz
It's, it's a ball-room blitz
It's, it's a ball-room blitz
It's, it's a ball-room blitz
Yeah, it's a ball-room blitz
