[Verse 1]

When you get what you want

It's hard to catch pity

When you're guilty as charged

It's hard to look pretty

When you scream in your room, does anyone hear it?

Do you cover your mouth and keep it a secret?

[Chorus]

If you make the girls dance

The boy will dance with them

If you play the right cards

The stack will get bigger

When you gamble your winnings away

And you work up the nerve just to play

If you make the girls dance

The boys will dance with them

[Verse 2]

Well, I hope you still take your trips to the river

And the sound of my voice is giving you shivers

When you're running away, does anyone see you?

Do you cut your hair short and try to conceal it?

[Chorus]

If you make the girls dance

The boys will dance with them

If you play the right cards

The stack will get bigger

When you gamble your winnings away

And work up the nerve just to play

If you make the girls dance

The boys will dance with them

[Chorus]

If you make the girls dance

The boys will dance with them

If you play the right cards

The stack will get bigger

When you gamble your winnings away

And work up the nerve just to play

If you make the girls dance

The boys will dance with them
