[Verse 1]
Show me your hands, I wanna know how you dance
Pretty baby, by the light of the moon
Do you carry your lovers around in a heart like a tomb
With a view? I wanna know how you lose
Pretty baby, does it show in your eyes?
Were you born to be a runner or are you a casual sigh?
Did the boys at school break your precious heart in two?
[Chorus]
And in every sad, sad country song
Is there a little bitty piece of 'em still hanging on?
You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine, my dear
And we'll bury these old ghosts here
[Verse 2]
Where'd you get those eyes, what do you see with those eyes?
Pretty darling, in the dead of the night
Are you saying your prayers or are you glowing like the metal on the edge
Of the knife? Baby, whose name sounds right?
On the lips of my queen
Am I speaking in riddles or do you feel what I mean?
Are you dying to move or are you dying to be the one moved?
[Chorus]
And would you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Señora?
If I could make you feel like he used to make you feel
I'll swing you a song and I'll dance you a dance right now
Right now
And would you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Señora?
If I could make you feel like he used to make you feel
I'll swing you a song and I'll dance you a dance right now
[Outro]
And we'll bury these old ghosts down
We'll bury these old ghosts down
Down, down, down
Down, darlin', down
Down, down
