Ah Yout'

I’ve had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush by
How does he twist the dance?
Can’t find my drink, oh man
Where are my keys?
I lost my phone

What’s going on on the floor?
I love this record, baby
But I can’t see straight anymore
Keep it cool
What’s the name of this club?
I can’t remember
But it’s alright

Just dance
Gonna be okay
Da-da-doo-doo
Just dance
Spin that record babe
Da-da-doo-doo
Just dance

Losing Love

Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword!

Some kill their love when they are young
And some when they are old
Some strangle with the hands of Lust
Some with the hands of Gold
The kindest use a knife
Because
 the dead so soon grow cold

Some love too little, some too long
Some sell, and others buy
Some do the deed with many tears
And some without a sigh
For each man kills the thing he loves
Yet each man does not die.
