Pas De Deux Lyrics - Singles - Dodie Clark

Poppy's a dancer 

Just turned 16 

Stares at boys who wear glasses 

In look magazines 

Here comes Tommy 

With glasses and all 

Flowers in hand and ambitious plans 

It's not hard to fall 

She's walking on rivers 

He lifts her above 

She's full of belonging 

And so full of love 

Things get a bit louder 

Tommy's focused on plans 

His smile's replaced with an aggressive face 

But she'll still hold his hand. 

Now she's given up dancing 

Tommy says she's too old 

He says focus on me but she disagrees 

While she does as she's told 

Are you walking on eggshells 

And when push comes to shove 

Are you full of belonging 

But not full of love 

Back to the studio 

Where she was told not to go 

Feeling sick with guilt, the tension builds 

As she opens the door 

And what else would be there 

But a trusting pair 

Of strong bodies 

Lacking in worries 

Performing a pas de deux 

I am not right 

Yes this is what's right 

Souls, and hearts and minds intertwined 

I won't be defined by him anymore 

Are you walking on eggshells 

And when push came to shove, 

Are you full of belonging 

But not full of love 

So goodbye to Tommy 

And hello to Sam, 

He doesn't wear glasses 

But he loves how she dances 

And he'll hold her hand. 

Yes, Poppy's a dancer 

With plans of her own 

You'll see her and partner 

Performing a pas de deux 

In the old studio 

She's walking on rivers 

He lifts her above 

She's full of belonging 

And so full of love. 

They're walking on rivers 

He lifts her above 

They're full of belongings 

And so full of love 

They're so full of love
