You are found at fingertips like a marionette,
Quatre pirouette, coupe jeté, grand plijé, brise amourettes,
Why do you do these:
All the time
All the time
For me
For me
When There’s nothing that I give
You bent, you bend backwards arriere cambre
Break your heart on display
leave your heart on the stage
All the time
All the time
For me
For me
Like a ballerina
Like a ballerina
with a one ...two
a one ...two
"I want you"
"I want you"
i can see
i can see
a one ...two ...three
a one ...two ...three
a one ..two ...three
a three ...four
"i want to be!"
"i want to be!"
"I want to be!..."
"...Be yours"
