SChe's the edge between the sacred and profane
And means at leFast one other language you

She's a dancer, lone riddle in the answer
She auFditioned for Romantics, but no calls from the right company
CShe'll never love the way you need her to, daFm7rlin'
You'll never lift her at aFll
CShe only wants the man she thinks is you, darlin'
Fm7You'll only take her if you tFhink you could lose

If you love me, give me Fnothing But Polite CompanyC
