I came by your house but you were gone So I came to the dance but all alone Through the window saw you dance across the floor And then I saw the sign above the door Couples only, so I guess I'll have to go Couples only, I'm left out in the cold I'm holding back my tears with all my might I'm so lonely, couples only tonight You build me up so high, then let me down It happens every time that he's in town To know that you're with him just breaks my heart And that sign above the door keeps us apart
