Lyrics:

Now the band is playing very slow
Once again I'll get my coat and go
A lonely wallflower, waiting by the wall
Without the willpower to face the music at all

Please...

Won't somebody dance with me
Start up a romance with me
Just someone to care
Someone so rare
For a dance with me

I feel so silly in my patent shoes
So many partners but none of them will choose
A lonely wallflower, growing very tired
Into the small hours and feeling undesired

Please...

Won't somebody dance with me
Start up a romance with me
Just someone somewhere
Someone who'll dare
Take a chance with me

Won't somebody dance with me
Start up a romance with me
Just someone somewhere
Someone who'll dare
Take a chance with me

Just someone to care
Someone somewhere
For a dance with me

(May I have the pleasure of this dance?)
