The right to remain silent, perfect stranger Can I have this dance my you're looking pretty Is there something wrong did he leave you hurting I don't mean to pry but that tear in your eye gave you away If you don't want to talk we'll keep it quiet But sometimes a heartache hurts worse if you hide it I think there's a chance one slow dance might ease the pain You have the right to remain silent Anything that you say as I hold you against me Will forever be a secret between us two I've been wanting you but you didn't know it And now that he's gone at last I can show it If your heart is tired for the rest of your life Lay your love on me So many times my eyes have held you Tonight please give my arms that chance If you don't feel the need for conversation We'll just let our hearts talk while we dance You have the right to remain silent Anything that you say as I hold you against me Will forever be a secret between us two I've been wanting you but you didn't know it And now that he's gone at last I can show it If your heart is tired for the rest of your life Lay your love on me If your heart is tired for the rest of your life Lay your love on me
