The simple ways I never see
It always seems to drift from me
All the things that I’m trying to be
I just want to see some movement
To take me a little out of here
Some kindness or maybe, maybe I just don’t care

I say umm umm, wouldn’t it be nice to see me getting somewhere
Mmm mmm, I ain’t growing at all
Mmm mmm, take me out and put me down in the moon light and tell me

Say baby… could you pick me up and spin me around
Say baby… maybe I’ll remember how to smile
Say baby… we can make it up as we go

Sometimes I start to feel like I’m breaking through
A new breath, a way to see
Is it humanly possible or even true
I’m just up against a wall and I want to be free
Well with untied hands well what could one be

I say mmm mmm, it’s a rhythm can lift you somewhere new
Mmm mmm, I want to feel the wave of change
Mmm mmm, yeah lets go out and find it tonight

Say baby… could you can pick me up and spin me around
Say baby… maybe I’ll remember how to smile
Say baby… we can make it up as we go

Remember I was dancer
In a life that’s so long ago
I could try to put out the fire, once it’s gone man there’s only smoke

Remember I was dancer
Remember I was dancer
Remember I was dancer
