Don´t watch me dancing

Margarida has a strange appeal 
Sways between suitors on a broken heel 
Of course her desires they always mistook 
She'd rather've been scarred than be scarred with loathe 

In conversation she often contends 
Costumes build customs that involve dead ends 
She found her courage in a change of scene 
This Sunday's social would be short its queen 

All her best years spent distracted 
By these tired reenactments 
With the right step she'll try her chances 
Somewhere else 

There he is a step outside her view 
Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue 
Night upon night a faithful light at shore 
If he'd only convince his legs across the floor 

Please, don't watch me dancing 
Oh no, don't watch me dancing 

Something changes when she glances 
Enough to teach you what romance is 
With the right step they try their chances 
Somewhere else 

Please, don't watch me dancing 
Don't watch me dancing
