After The Ball

You light on my feet

Fine and so fleet

So indiscreet

We should meet around midnight

You may be insincere

You whisper in my ear

Some words that may be unclear

But they sound so right

And my head begins to spin

When my heart says it's a sin

Never let the dance begin

Once again to begin

You have your way with the women

You who captivate with your rhythm

I can't quite forget or forgive them

I'm not just a doll built for the ball

After I fall dancing is all you may recall

After the ball

I remember well elegant swell

The spell you weave very well in the moonlight

Every move you make

Your flashing eyes would break

The hardest heart in Atlanta it just ain't right.

You, a master of the game

Me a moth and you a flame

You don't even know my name

Just a dame

All the same

You have your way with the women

You who captivate with your rhythm

I can't quite forget or forgive them

So do your worst

You'll be my first

At last in love I'm lost and long to care

Free from it all

Fated to fall

My femme fatale

Always on call

Winsome withal

After the ball
