I've Got an Invitation to a Dance - The Andrews Sisters

I’ve got an invitation to a dance,

But I don’t think I’ll go,

I’d be sorry I know;

I’m afraid I might see

The one who should be with me

With somebody else.

I’ve got an invitation to a dance;

It’s the town’s big affair,

All our friends will be there.

They may talk when they see

The one who should be with me

With somebody else.

I don’t wanna start a lot of gossip,

Out of sight is out of mind!

Maybe there is still a chance to make up;

We may wake up and find

We’re leavin' happiness behind!

I’ve got an invitation to a dance;

I could bring someone new

But what good would it do?

It would hurt me to see

The one who should be with me

With somebody else.

I don’t wanna start a lot of gossip,

Out of sight is out of mind!
