Pretty Ballerina The Left Banke

[Verse 1]
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance, and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No, not at all

[Verse 2]
I called her yesterday
It should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
Afraid it's moving without me

[Instrumental Break]
La, la, la, laaa
La, la

[Verse 1]
I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance, and then she obliged me
Was I surprised? Yeah
Was I surprised? No, not at all
