Last Dance
Brian McKnight · Back at One
Do we know more than we knew then
Or do we know less and we just pretend
Should I ignore my heart and walk away
Your eyes tell me more than words will ever say
Chorus:
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
Should we spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
How can I be wrong when I feel the way I feel
How can I deny emotion that's so real
In the middle of the night I call out your name
Do I ever cross you mind do, do you feel the same
Chorus:
Like we should take a chance and dance the last dance
Should we spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
Let me go
Come to me
Which way is the way that it should be
This is so bitter sweet
There's no that way we will ever know for sure
Chorus:
Unless we take a chance and dance the last dance
We should spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
Repeat Chorus out
Or do we know less and we just pretend
Should I ignore my heart and walk away
Your eyes tell me more than words will ever say
Chorus:
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
Should we spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
How can I be wrong when I feel the way I feel
How can I deny emotion that's so real
In the middle of the night I call out your name
Do I ever cross you mind do, do you feel the same
Chorus:
Like we should take a chance and dance the last dance
Should we spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
Let me go
Come to me
Which way is the way that it should be
This is so bitter sweet
There's no that way we will ever know for sure
Chorus:
Unless we take a chance and dance the last dance
We should spend the night one more time
Caught up in this romance
Or maybe wait and see
Let it be, the way that it will be
Should we take a chance and dance the last dance
Repeat Chorus out
