Ballerina

She squirms like a rattlesnake
She swings like the hottest flame
And when there's no one looking up
She reveals her bright side

She moves in a gentle way
But she's intense like a hurricane
And I know she knows for sure
The way that the band plays

She bounces like a ping pong ball
She's different from them all
And when she needs someone to help
She calls me down

She's a ballerina in the sand
Dancing like no other else can
She's a ballerina in the dust
Doing what no other else could
She's a ballerina in the rain
And I'm the drop that she would like that stay

Her feet barely touch the ground
She keeps spinning round and round
And when she jumps up it looks like
She could touch the sky

In the sunset, there's a silhouette
And by her body drip the drops of sweat
And when she stops in fourth position
She makes my jaw drop

Her eyes remind me of a fox
She could be inside a music box
But it's not enough for her
Because she deserves the whole world

She's a ballerina in the sand
Dancing like no other else can
She's a ballerina in the dust
Doing what no other else could
She's a ballerina in the rain
And I'm the drop that she would like that stay

She's a ballerina in the rain
And I'm the drop that she would like
She would like
She would like that stay
