Adams, Bryan - She's Only Happy When She's Dancin' Lyrics

My first EVER album purchase! :-)

♡ LYRICS

Monday mornin' it's time to get up 
Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus
Looks in the window and fixes her hair 
Nobody notices and nobody cares 

She admits it ain't no kinda life 
Workin' nine to five, you know

She's only happy when she's dancin' 
There ain't no place she'd rather be 
When she's dancin' 
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies 

When Friday evenin' finally rolls around 
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown 
Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain" 
Nothin' matters until Monday so she goes insane 

Well, it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet 
But that's the way the story goes 
She's only happy when she's dancin' 
There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free 
When she's dancin' 
The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see 

She ain't got much but she got independence 
Yeah, she's doin' alright 
His eyes are on her as the evenin's endin'
But she ain't goin' for no mystery 
'Cause nobody rides for free 

She's only happy when she's dancin' 
Come on and dance, babe
Dancin' there ain't no place she'd rather be 
When she's dancin' 
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies dance (dancin') yeah
(Dancin') she's only happy
(Dancin') come on

This would have been a hit if BA released in the country music charts! :)

nah this is straight up 80s AOR arena rock, though I agree it should've been a single (even if Reckless had 7 lol)

I would have liked having this in the Footloose soundtrack. Both were released in 1984! :)

yeah it would of been a good song in the movie for sure

I love hearing the earlier Bryan Adams songs, the music I grew up with

ABOUT TIME!!!!

Love this song, it's really catchy and has a good rocking beat. It was one of the few Reckless songs that wasn't a single but could've been.

Monday morning its time to get up
