My ballerina girl she's in the spotlight Shining on the stage her eyes so bright She tells a perfect story with her body Drifting like a wave into the sea My ballerina girl I've seen her glide so gracefully How can I make her fall in love with me My ballerina girl I've seen her dancing from the start With every twist, with every turn she breaks my heart My ballerina girl she needs the money Taking any job that she can find She has a dream to one day flee the country In hopes to leave this silly town behind If only she could make it out the city To show her mom and dad she'll be alright I'd love to help her out but then I'd never see her dancing once again Once again My ballerina girl I've seen her dance across the stage I think about her every single day My ballerina girl I know I've said it from the start With every twist, with every turn she breaks my heart My ballerina girl she's in the spotlight But now she's shining in the biggest scene She got her dream and made it out the country Nothing's stopping her from endless green If only I could play for her this song To show her that I knew she'd make it far But part of me is broken cause I know I'll never see her dance again Once again My ballerina girl I hear she's dancing with the stars Now I can only love her from afar My ballerina girl just now I said it from the start With every twist, with every turn she breaks my heart My ballerina girl she breaks my heart
