If It's Not Your Own

Don’t hang around with the boys from that town
If you don’t like it rough
And don’t lay a hand to the sword if you know
That you’re not that tough
I don’t walk the streets in my high heels
If I’m planning to run a mile
Don’t knock on my door now baby
‘less you are planning to stay a while you can’t…

Chorus
Stay in the spotlight if you don’t
Like the way it moves your soul
You can’t dance the rhythm of life too long
If it ain’t for real if it ain’t your own

You stand outside in the pouring rain
Then complain you’re soaked through
You jump in so deep then surprised you can’t keep
To the things you said you’d do

Well who builds a home in the snow when they really
Really don’t like the cold
Well people are strange yeah it seems to be plain
That they need to be told you can’t…

Chorus
Stay in the spotlight if you don’t
Like the way it moves your soul
You can’t dance the rhythm of life too long
If it ain’t for real if it ain’t your own

Yeah don’t hang around with the boys from that town
If you don’t like it rough
And don’t lay a hand to the sword if you know
That you’re not that tough
I don’t walk the streets in my high heels
If I’m planning to run a mile
Don’t knock on my door now baby
‘less you are planning to stay a while you can’t…

Chorus
Stay in the spotlight if you don’t
Like the way it moves your soul
You can’t dance the rhythm of life too long
If it ain’t for real if it ain’t your own

You can’t stay in the spotlight if you don’t
Like the way it moves your soul
You can’t dance the rhythm of life too long
If it ain’t for real if it ain’t your own hey yeah

You can’t dance the rhythm of life too long
If it ain’t for real if it ain’t your own.
