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?
