Joanna would you understand
If black were really white
and baby could I have this dance?
Just say that thats alright
Im a little scared, understand
Ill admit it, Ill admit it.

I better dance right, try not to lose it
alright, try not to lose it again
try not to lose it again.
I better dance right
try not to lose it
alright, try not to lose it again
and if I lose it again
and if I cant dance
Joanna would you understand?

Joanna could you let it be
would you be mine tonight?
And baby let the people see
just say that thats alright.
Im a little scared, understand
Ill admit it, Ill admit it.

I better dance right, try not to lose it
alright, try not to lose it again
try not to lose it again.
I better dance right, try not to lose it
alright, try not to lose it again
and if I lose it again
and if I cant dance
Joanna would you understand?

All children learn when the sun goes down
All my friends learn when the sun goes down,
Well Im a little scared, understand, Ill admit it
