Walking down the empty morning streets Hole in her heart and teared up tights Dirty bills been covering the ground Each weighing heavy on her mind Forgot the shame She knows it No guilt or blame She shows it But she got nothing more to lose To pay her dues she hides Dancing on through the night To make it through she fights Dancing on through the night Until the dawn she be working But is she proud To pay her dues she moves Wishing for a better life For a better life Oooh Dancing on through the night On through the night Red lights flashing, shining in her eyes Only makeup hides the pain All she ever wanted is to leave it behind Knowing she'll come back again Forgot the shame She knows it No guilt or blame She shows it But she got nothing more to lose To pay her dues she hides Dancing on through the night To make it through she fights Dancing on through the night Until the dawn she be working But is she proud To pay her dues she moves Wishing for a better life For a better life Oooh Dancing on through the night On through the night She's a prisoner until she moves She does it for her little girl It's the reason why she can't break loose But nothing, nothing, nothing, will ever change it To pay her dues she hides Dancing on through the night To make it through she fights Dancing on through the night Until the dawn she be working But is she proud To pay her dues she moves Wishing for a better life For a better life Oooh Dancing on through the night On through the night Oooh Dancing on through the night On through the night Oooh Dancing on through the night On through the night
