I know it's not very cool Standing here, serenading like a fool But I don't care I'll gladly be a fool for you I know the idea isn't new To fall in love with someone on first view But I don't care I think I'll fall in love with you I'll put on my Sunday best You pick out your favourite dress I'll take you somewhere new I'll be old-fashioned for you It's a cliché or so I'm told To give your jacket up to someone when it's cold But I don't care I don't mind the midnight air Oh, oh I'll walk you home, to your front door I'll say farewell until the morning calls I'll be smiling a bigger smile than before I'll put on my Sunday best You pick out your favourite dress And I'll take you somewhere new I'll put on my Sunday best You pick out your favourite dress And I'll take you somewhere new I'll be old fashioned for you Old fashioned for you

Dance in the old fashioned way Won't you stay in my arms? Just melt against my skin And let me feel your heart Don't let the music win By dancing far apart Come close where you belong Let's hear our secret song Dance in the old fashioned way Won't you stay in my arms? And we'll discover heights We never knew before If we just close our eyes And dance around the floor That gay old fashioned way That makes me love you more Come closer, forget about the others It's nice to be like this Cheek to cheek in the old fashioned way It's funny but I have the feeling that We're dancing as our parents used to do Well, maybe they weren't wrong The world changes, love stays Dance in the old fashioned way Won't you stay in my arms? And we'll discover heights We never knew before If we just close our eyes And dance around the floor That gay old fashioned way That makes me love you more

It ain't like I hate this place, but I sure do need a change of pace Man, I miss the good ole days and how they made me feel These walls of mine are closing in My patience worn out paper thin And I just want to wrap my hand around a steering wheel This songbird is singing, and you can kiss my ass goodbye I refuse to have one foot in the grave, be a rat in a cage I wasn't made to stay in one damn place like a dog on a chain Just wasting away, I want to feel alive I got the rest of my life to die, I want to feel alive Been spinning wheels and grinding gears Trying to find my place out here But the road to home looks crystal clear Thats where I'm heading first Then out into the great unknown Where there's room to ride and a range to roam There ain't no moss on a rolling stone down here on this earth I refuse to have one foot in the grave, be a rat in a cage I wasn't made to stay in one damn place like a dog on a chain Just wasting away, I want to feel alive I got the rest of my life to die, I want to feel alive I refuse to have one foot in the grave, be a rat in a cage I wasn't made to stay in one damn place like a dog on a chain Just wasting away, I want to feel alive I got the rest of my life to die, I want to feel alive I want to feel alive I want to feel alive
