Sometimes she'll have one drink too many
Sometimes she laughs a bit too loud
She's the first one on the dance floor
She'll dance with any man around.

I watch the way they all surround her
I know that they don't understand her.

She's just dancing to the beat of a broken heart
Searching for comfort with strangers in the dark
It's just her way to fight another lonely night
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart.

She's the center of attention
Every time she comes in here
And as she dances by my table
I see the traces of a tear.

There's someone somewhere, she's not over
She's just looking for a shoulder.

She's just dancing to the beat of a broken heart
Searching for comfort with strangers in the dark
It's just her way to fight another lonely night
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart.

She's dancing to the beat of a broken heart
Searching for comfort with strangers in the dark
It's just her way to fight another lonely night
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart
She's dancing to the beat of a broken heart, mmm.
