Joanna would you understand
If black were really white
and baby could I have this dance?
Just say that that's alright,
I'm a little scared, understand,
I'll admit it, I'll admit it

I better dance right, try not to lose it,
alright, try not to lose it again,
try not to lose it again
I better dance right,
try not to lose it,
alright, try not to lose it again,
and if I lose it again,
and if I can't dance,
Joanna would you understand?

Joanna could you let it be,
would you be mine tonight?
And baby let the people see,
just say that that's alright
I'm a little scared, understand
I'll admit it, I'll admit it

I better dance right, try not to lose it,
alright, try not to lose it again,
try not to lose it again
I better dance right, try not to lose it,
alright, try not to lose it again,
and if I lose it again,
and if I can't dance,
Joanna would you understand?

All children learn when the sun goes down,
All my friends learn when the sun goes down,
Well I'm a little scared, understand, I'll admit it…
