Scarlet fever Lyrics

Artist: Kenny Rogers
Album: 20 Greatest Hits

I stood outside the Lucky Star
Staring at the flashing sign
It read: come on in and watch young
Scarlets body come alive
Let her dance for you and catch your spell
Youll swear you can believe her
Be careful not to catch the scarlet fever.

So I paid my fare and walked down front
And found an empty chair
As I settled in young scarlet took the ribbons from her hair
The moves her body made while the music played
Were the likes Ive never seen
And she became the envy of my dreams.

One by one her teasing movements
Brought the crowd out of their seats
And all at once young scarlet
Danced straight up in front of me
From the moment that her eyes found mine
Ive never been the same
Scarlet locked another heart upon her chain.

Now I get scarlet fever every time I see her
But shes a night club teaser
Not paid to notice me
Yes, I get scarlet fever
If she knew how much I need her
Shed place her hand in my hand
And dance away with me.

She looked 25 but I was told
That she was just 16
She had a way of making a man believe
She danced for only him
As she tantalized I fantasized
And felt the sound of my heart beat
And every night Id dream
Shed fall in love with me.

Then one night while driving in
My eyes begun to tear
cos the sign outside the Lucky Star said: scarlet isnt here
shed left that day to find a life
of bigger and better things
and she left behind my chain of broken dreams.

But still get scarlet fever
In my mind I still see her
Out there dancing somewhere
To another fool like me.
Yes, I get ....
