Ballroom Blitz
Brian Connolly's & Sweet Lyrics

Are you ready Steve? Uh-huh
The band is getting ready to play, and the lead singer is asking the drummer if he's ready.

Andy? Yeah
The lead singer is also checking in with the guitarist to make sure he's ready to start playing.

Mick? Okay
The lead singer is checking in with the bassist to make sure he's ready to start playing, and he responds that he's okay.

Alright fellas, let's go!
The lead singer is giving the signal to start playing the song they have been rehearsing.

Oh it's been getting so hard Living with the things you do to me My dreams are getting so strange I'd like to tell you everything I see
The lead singer is having a hard time living with someone who is causing them trouble. His dreams are getting weird, and he wants to tell this person everything he sees.

Oh, I see a man at the back as a matter of fact His eyes are as red as the sun And the girl in the corner let no one ignore her Cause she thinks she's the passionate one
The lead singer is noticing a man at the back of the room with red eyes, and a girl in the corner who is demanding attention. She thinks she's the most passionate person in the room.

Oh yeah! It was like lightning Everybody was fighting And the music was soothing And they all started grooving
The energy in the room suddenly changes, things get chaotic with people fighting, but the band's music calms people before everyone starts to dance.

Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah And the man in the back said everyone attack And it turned into a ballroom blitz And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you It'll turn into a ballroom blitz Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
The man in the back of the room suddenly tells everyone to attack, and chaos ensues, becoming a ballroom blitz. The girl tries to warn a boy of what's happening, but it's too late. The phrase 'ballroom blitz' is repeated multiple times as a nod to the chaos that has erupted.

Oh reaching out for something Touching nothing's all I ever do Oh I softly call you over When you appear there's nothing left of you
The lead singer is searching for something, but never seems to find it. He calls out to someone, but they never stay long enough to help him.

And the man in the back is ready to crack As he raises his hands to the sky And the girl in the corner is everyone's woman She could kill you with a wink of her eye
The man from before is at his breaking point and is raising his hands in frustration. The girl in the corner has everyone's attention, and her power is so strong that she could even kill someone with a wink.

Oh yeah! It was electric So perfectly hectic And the band started leaving 'Cause they all stopped breathing
The situation in the room was electric, it had a high energy, and was perfectly hectic. Even the band became overwhelmed and had to leave because of the chaos.

It's it's a ballroom blitz It's it's a ballroom blitz It's it's a ballroom blitz Yeah, it's a ballroom blitz
The phrase 'ballroom blitz' is repeated multiple times at the end, emphasizing the chaos that had erupted in the room.
