[Verse 1]
Though I'm tired just sitting here talking with you
There's better things y'know a lonely rock 'n' roller can do

The hour is getting late
They're putting all our dreams away
Lord have mercy on all of our thoughts today

I should get away
But I would rather stay and dance
C'mon darling let's dance

[Verse 2]
Although I'm tired just sitting here falling for you
There's better things y'know a lonely boy and girl can do

The hour is getting late
They're pulling all the curtains drawn
We got the rest of our lives 'til the coming dawn

Hold my hand awhile
We'll go out in style and dance
C'mon darling let's dance

[Bridge]
I'll say a little prayer for us girl
I'll say a little prayer for us girl
I'll say a little prayer for us girl
I'll say a little prayer for us girl

[Verse 3]
Though I'm tired just sitting here singing for you
There's better things y'know a lonely rock 'n' roller can do

The hour is getting late
They're putting all the chairs away
If they've got Big Star on the radio they'll let us stay

Oh, September girl
Come and rule my world
And dance

[Outro]
C'mon darling let's dance
C'mon baby let's dance
C'mon darling let's dance (I'll say a little prayer for us girl)
C'mon baby let's dance (I'll say a little prayer for us girl)
C'mon darling let's dance (I'll say a little prayer for us girl)
C'mon baby let's dance (I'll say a little prayer for us girl)
Show a little love, I'll keep it close to mine and
C'mon darling let's dance (I'll say a little prayer for us girl)
Have a little heart, I'll keep my own in time and
C'mon baby let's dance (I'll say a little prayer for us girl)
Show a little love, I'll keep it close to mine
C'mon darling let's dance (I'll say a little prayer for us girl)
And dance
