Below, you will find the lyrics for Tap Dancing by Nelly Furtado.
Verse 1
Tap dancing, falling over my own two feet
Hoping that you like what you see in disguise
I'm tap dancing, making up the moves as i go along
Forgetting all the words to my song until i cry
Chorus 1
Just doing what i can
For you to like me
Hiding the clown i am
Deep down inside me
Don't look too closely, just clap your hands
Don't say you know me, just cue the band
Let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you
Verse 2
Tap dancing over all the marks on the floor
Pretending that i might be something more than a smile
I'm tap dancing, maybe i'm asking for too much
Maybe i should just give it up for a while
Chorus 2
And let the curtain fall
And face the ugly
I shouldn't have to dance at all
For you to love me
Don't look too closely, just clap your hands
Don't say you know me, just cue the band
And let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you
Bridge
I really wanna take off these shoes
But i'm afraid of the truth
That i'm not enough for you
Chorus 3
Don't look too closely, just understand
No need to judge me, just be a fan
Let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you
Outro
I'm gonna tap dance for you
Tap dance, for you
