A Place Like This Lyrics - Walking Papers - Walking Papers

Her smile was an invitation 

To start a conversation 

So I moved in closer wearing 

Too much cologne 

I asked her if she came here often 

If she might like a drink 

Said I think we should find some place where 

We can be alone 

She said, "I must be going" 

So I grabbed her by the wrist 

I said, "what's the girl like you doing 

Alone in a place like this?" 

I desired her attention 

So I decided I should mention 

If she felt like dancing 

Well, there was room on the floor 

I said, "let's spend some time together 

Let's get to know each other" 

I felt like maybe 

We've met some place before 

A more fabulous dancer 

Did not exist 

So I asked her what she's doing 

Alone in a place like this 

I longed for a connection 

I spun her in all directions 

Feeling light on her feet 

Is what she enjoys the most 

While admiring her complexion 

I came across my lonely reflection 

And I realized that I have been dancing 

Not with a woman, but with a ghost 

So I pulled myself together 

Hoping no-one noticed 

What's a guy like me doing dancing 

Alone in a place like this 

Alone in a place like this 

Alone in a place like this
