Lyrics
Tomorrow's Dance
Saturday night, you look so chic
Been waiting for this moment, been waiting all week
The club is crowded, much too hot
The boys they're dancing, they just can't stop
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right
Ice cold drinks, get stoned tonight
We're gonna get happy, the occasion is right
You start to move, you take the floor
The music is better than ever before
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right
Three A.M., I just can't last
The music is loud, and much too fast
You gotta get out, you wanna stay
You gotta hang out to another dancing day
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance your dance, you dance your chance
Tomorrow's dance, tomorrow's dance
You dance tonight and you dance it right
Songwriter: Vince Clarke (?)
