Furtado, Nelly - Tap Dancing Lyrics






Tap dancing, falling over my own two feet
Hoping that you like what you see in disguise
I'm tap dancing, making up the moves as I go along
Forgetting all the words to my song until I cry

Just doing what I can
For you to like me
Hiding the clown I am
Deep down inside me

Don't look too closely, just clap your hands
Don't think you know me, just cue the band
Let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you

Tap dancing over all the marks on the floor
Pretending that I might be something more than a smile
I'm tap dancing, maybe I'm asking for too much
Maybe I should just give it up for a while

And let the curtain fall
And face the ugly
I shouldn't have to dance at all
For you to love me

Don't look too closely, just clap your hands
Don't think you know me, just cue the band
And let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you

I really wanna take off these shoes
But I'm afraid of the truth
That I'm not enough for you

Don't look too closely, just understand
No need to judge me, just be a fan
Let me tap dance for you
Let me tap dance for you

I'm gonna tap dance for you
Tap dance, for you

  30. Y.... G....

    Anoche me dormí escuchándola y se repitió supongo que muchas veces. Después la traía en la mente,...luego me llegó la nostalgia. Hermosa letra y música. Nelly es una verdadera artista.

    Y.... G....

    Mi artista favorita, quisiera que todos la entendieran... por algo será

    Y.... G....

    Roberto Caravantes Yo también quisiera eso, pero creo que Nelly sabe porque lo hace. Ya probó tanta fama con Loose, que aceptó ese momento. Pero sabe bien que debemos evolucionar para trascender. Aquí una entrevista sobre esa filosofía que tiene ella. http://www.gq.com/story/nelly-furtado-the-ride

    TAP DANCING LYRICS
    Tap dancing, falling over my own two feet
    Hoping that you like what you see
    In the skies

    I'm tap dancing, making up the moves as I go along
    Forgetting all the words to my song
    Until I cry

    Just doing what I can
    For you to like me
    Hiding the clown I am
    Deep down inside me

    Don't look too closely, just clap your hands
    Don't say you know me, just cue the band
    Let me tap dance for you
    Let me tap dance for you

    Tap dancing
    Over all the marks on the floor
    Forgetting that I might be something more than a smile
    I'm tap dancing
    Maybe I'm asking for too much
    Maybe I should just give it up for awhile

    And let the curtain fall
    And face the ugly
    I shouldn't have to dance at all
    For you to love me

    Don't look too closely, just clap your hands
    Don't say you know me, just cue the band
    And let me tap dance for you
    Let me tap dance for you

    I really wanna take off these shoes
    But I'm afraid of the truth
    That I'm not enough for you

    So don't look too closely
    Just understand
    No need to judge me
    Just be a fan
    Let me tap dance for you
    Let me tap dance for you

    I'm gonna tap dance for you
    Tap dance
    For you

  42. C.... ....

    Wow... the production on this song is totally amazing, the acoustic version on the night before the Cold hard truth live premier seemed fantastic, and I thought that this would be a piano ballad, but now, I got a surprise... amazing song, amazing lyrics, amazing production, also one of my favorite songs on The Ride

  43. R.... O....

    MY FAVORITE FROM THE ALBUM

  44. D.... V....

    Love the Diamonds and Pearls intro 💜

  45. R.... C....
