Dancing In The Dark
The Boss Lyrics

I get up in the evening And I ain't got nothing to say
I start my day late and I am usually quiet, I have nothing to share with anyone.

I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way
I usually come back home late and go to bed with the same mindset, nothing changes.

I ain't nothing but tired Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself Hey, there, baby I could use just a little help
I am exhausted, and I am not interested in anything, I want someone to help me get through this.

You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't achieve a goal or accomplish anything without some motivation or inspiration, I am willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means dancing in the dark.

Messages keep getting clearer Radio's on and I'm moving around the place I check my look in the mirror Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Things are starting to make sense, I listen to music as I move around the room, and I think about making a change in my appearance or identity.

Man, I ain't getting nowhere I just live in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere Baby, I just know there is
I feel stuck and I am not going anywhere, I live in an unpleasant environment, but I believe something good is happening somewhere else.

You sit around getting older There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me I'll shake this world off my shoulders Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
As I grow old, I realize I am the joke, but I will overcome my problems and let loose, it's time to have some fun.

Stay on the streets of this town And they'll be carving you up alright They say you gotta stay hungry Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight
If you stay in this town, people will try to bring you down, and you will lose your drive, but I am still hungry for success.

I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sittin' round here trying to write this book I need a love reaction Come on, baby, gimme just one look
I want to experience something exciting, I am tired of sitting around writing and need some passion in my life, one look from you can change everything.

You can't start a fire Sittin' round crying over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't move forward if you are stuck mourning over lost love, so I am willing to take any opportunity to dance and cheer up.

You can't start a fire Worrying about your little world falling apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark
If you focus too much on your problems, you will lose sight of the bigger picture, and I am willing to take on any challenge to keep the fire burning.

Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Hey, baby!
Even if things are not ideal, we will dance together in the dark and make the most of what we have.
