Lyrics of How Can I Dance by Ava Max

[Intro]
Oh, Woah, Oh
How Can I Dance When You Tie My Hands Up?
Oh, Woah, Oh
How Can I Lo-lo-lo-love If You Keep Me In Chains?

[Verse 1]
Think You Can Lock Me, Baby? I’m Not A Bird In Your Cage (Ooh, Ooh)
You Wanna Play With Fire? Boy, That’s A Dangerous Game (Ooh, Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I’m Better Off Dancin’ Alone
While You’re Spending The Night With Your Own Ego
Baby, Now All You Get Is A Ghost
When I Leave, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

[Chorus]
Oh, Woah, Oh
How Can I Dance When You Tie My Hands Up?
Oh, Woah, Oh
How Can I Lo-lo-lo-love If You Keep Me In Chains?

[Post-Chorus]
‘Cause These Wings Weren’t Made To Fly
So I Could Break Free From Your Hold
Oh, Woah, Oh
How Can I Lo-lo-lo-love If You Keep Me In Chains?

[Verse 2]
No, I Won’t Tiptoe ’round Ya, This Ain’t A Russian Ballet (Ooh, Ooh)
You Use Your Sticks And Stones, But Baby, I’m Holding Grenades (Ooh, Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I Got A Heart You Could Never Break No Matter The Things You Say
So Shut Up And Save The Air You Breathe
Baby, Now All You Get Is A Ghost
When I Leave, Oh, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, Woah, Oh
How Can I Dance When You Tie My Hands Up?
Oh, Woah, Oh
How Can I Lo-lo-lo-love If You Keep Me In Chains?

[Post-Chorus]
‘Cause These Wings Weren’t Made To Fly
So I Could Break Free From Your Hold
Oh, Woah, Oh
How Can I Lo-lo-lo-love If You Keep Me In Chains?
