Ladies Choice Ricky Nelson

Went to a dance one night
And the beautiful music was playin'
And through the dim blue light
I could just see the silhouette swayin'

Then all at once the room was aglow
And through the couples I could see
A pair of angel eyes, and I was hypnotized
They were looking straight at me

They played a ladies choice
And I could feel my heart beating madly
For any moment she'd ask me to dance
And I would say gladly

Then someone said "Would you care to dance?"
I turned around when I heard her voice
But it was someone else, oh how sad I felt
For I was the wrong ladies choice

And when the song was through
She was alone and I caught her eye
I had to make my play before she danced
With some other guy

So as the music played she laid her sweet head on my shoulder
And she could see the love that I felt as though I had told her
Was someone waiting to take her home
I wondered who would the lucky boy be
