Kenny Rogers - Scarlet Fever Lyrics
I stood outside the Lucky StarStaring at the flashing signIt read: come on in and watch youngScarlet's body come aliveLet her dance for you and catch your spellYou'll swear you can believe herBe careful not to catch the scarlet fever.So I paid my fare and walked down frontAnd found an empty chairAs I settled in young scarlet took the ribbons from her hairThe moves her body made while the music playedWere the likes I've never seenAnd she became the envy of my dreams.One by one her teasing movementsBrought the crowd out of their seatsAnd all at once young scarletDanced straight up in front of meFrom the moment that her eyes found mineI've never been the sameScarlet locked another heart upon her chain.Now I get scarlet fever every time I see herBut she's a night club teaserNot paid to notice meYes, I get scarlet feverIf she knew how much I need herShe'd place her hand in my handAnd dance away with me.She looked 25 but I was toldThat she was just 16She had a way of making a man believeShe danced for only himAs she tantalized I fantasizedAnd felt the sound of my heart beatAnd every night I'd dreamShe'd fall in love with me.Then one night while driving inMy eyes begun to tear'Cause the sign outside the Lucky StarSaid: scarlet isn't hereShe'd left that day to find a lifeOf bigger and better thingsAnd she left behind my chain of broken dreams.But still get scarlet feverIn my mind I still see herOut there dancing somewhereTo another fool like me.Yes, I get scarlet fever every time I see herBut she's a night club teaserNot paid to notice meYes, I get scarlet feverIf she knew how much I need herShe'd place her hand in my handAnd dance away with me...
