One I wrote back in 2019 that I thought i'd revive.
Hope everyone is doing well

Didn't see that coming, Miss Plain Jane,
When your dance card was empty, passion swayed your way
Like a lamb to the slaughter, a moth to the flame,
playing with the innocent, the party man's game
The song that we danced to, when I was your fool
Is lying with forgotten tunes in the radio's blood pool
This girl dances now well all alone
She moves to the rhythm of the wise on her own

Shut down the music. turn off the lights
This little wallflower's not dancing tonight
Shut down the music and turn off the lights
This little wallflower she's not dancing tonight

A rose for the pretty and a weed for the blind
All the knowing flowers saw the laughter in your eyes
The stupid get what they deserve and hold on to it tight
But when the rose is bruised and crushed, there'll be no dancing tonight.......
