Dancing to the Beat of a Broken Heart - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Sometimes she’ll have one drink too many

Sometimes she laughs a bit too loud

She’s the first one on the dance floor

She’ll dance with any man around.

I watch the way they all surround her

I know that they don’t understand her.

She’s just dancing to the beat of a broken heart

Searching for comfort with strangers in the dark

It’s just her way to fight another lonely night

Dancing to the beat of a broken heart.

She’s the center of attention

Every time she comes in here

And as she dances by my table

I see the traces of a tear.

There’s someone somewhere, she’s not over

She’s just looking for a shoulder.

She’s just dancing to the beat of a broken heart

Searching for comfort with strangers in the dark

It’s just her way to fight another lonely night

Dancing to the beat of a broken heart.

She’s dancing to the beat of a broken heart

Searching for comfort with strangers in the dark

It’s just her way to fight another lonely night

Dancing to the beat of a broken heart

Dancing to the beat of a broken heart

Dancing to the beat of a broken heart

She’s dancing to the beat of a broken heart, mmm.
