Lyrics
[Ella]
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
[Dan]
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall
[Dan & Ella]
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do
[Ella]
I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family
[Dan]
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
[Dan & Ella]
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do
[Erika]
When I hold you baby
Feel your heart beat close to me
Wanna stay in your arms forever
[Dan]
Only love can set you free
When I wake each morning
Every spawn beats down on me
And I know we belong together
Only love can set you free
Set you free
Set you free
Set you free
Set you free
Oh, oh yeah
