I was sad there,
In the shadows of a place we used to go
Drinking cocktail after cocktail
Wondering if you'd show

My head started spinning
My mouth was feeling dry
Lost inside the music I,
I was trying not to cry

If they call it heartache
If they call it heartache
Why is the rest of my body aching
Why is the rest of my body shaking

Please Mr. DJ won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
I'm too hurt to dance tonight

I was sad there, looking solemn
He said I stood out from the crowd
He offered me a friendly face
To wipe away my frown

But I won't talk to strangers
There words are all the same
So I drowned inside this drinking glass
To take away the pain

If they call it heartache
If they call it heartache
Why is the rest of my body aching
Why is the rest of my body shaking

Please Mr. DJ won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
I'm too hurt to dance tonight

Please Mr. DJ won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
I'm too hurt to dance tonight
