Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I break down and cry, next time I'll be true, yeah
Fever for lost romance remind me baby of you
I took a crazy chance
And next time I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true
Footsteps on the dance floor, remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
And the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels like I felt it with you
When I'm dancin' 'round, remind me baby of you
I really let you down, next time I'll be true, yeah
I took a crazy chance
She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
Footsteps on the dance floor, remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
And the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels like I felt it with you
Hurting deep inside, she cries on every tune
I break down and cry
She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
Footsteps on the dance floor remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune
And the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you
No, no
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels like I felt it with you
No, no
And the music don't feel like it did when I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels like I felt it with you
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Fever for lost romance
I took a crazy chance
Lovers holding hands, remind me baby of you

Years ago, I used to play this cd so much that even my neighbors knew the words AND no one ever told me to turn it down or off. I would see my neighbor in her garden singing to this song especially. Still a great song /cd to this day!!
