on a warm summer evening 
i'm dancin' to the radio alone 
don't need no conversation 
just want a new love to call all my own 
throw the window open 
let the breeze take me away 
ya' see i gotta lose all this ol' heartache 
before the sun comes round back to stay 


i been doin' my best to forget you 
but i can't do it on my own 


chorus 
i need to dance with a stranger 
and hold him in my arms 
close my eyes make believe he's you 
i need to dance with a stranger 
take my hurt away 
before i'm over you 


hear the city hummin' 
grab my shoes and go downtown 
won't need no invitation 
just to hear the sweet sweet sound 
and i don't want no man to ask me 
where you been all y lonlely life 
just wanna move real slow 
and have somebody hold me tight 


i've been doin' my best to forget you 
but i can't do it on my own 


chorus 


i hear the heart is a lonely hunter 
and i believe it to be true 
but this heart is learning to forget 
i ever fell in love with you 


chorus
