You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor

Step ball change into season change,
Into different shoes, into older age,
Oh it takes two to tango, but you never seem to mind
A third dancer
A third romancer,
Two steps in to another empty space,
Two steps in and a move is out of place,
I've been trying so hard to keep in time,
Are we dancing out of time?
[Get back in line]

Shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor

Plead, hey, oh I plead hey,
Can you see me
Through the formation?
I've got two left feet and I'm far too weak
I've always been an understudy,
I know you would never love me.
Here comes your twist and shout,
You can never give up,
I can't always give the fullest performance
When you're around.

Shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor;
You keep shaking me off to another on the dance floor.
Shaking me off, shaking me off
[Get back in line].
