Seventh Grade Dance Lyrics
Walking on down to the seventh grade dance
And I don't know what we're going there for
No one's gonna talk to us, we'll look real silly
Staring at the gymnasium floor
I'll wrestle the beat
With my two left feet
They'll laugh and they'll stare
At what my mom made me wear
Tomorrow I'll wake up
Crying and smiling
It's just another day in the suburbs
Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine
Sometimes
Hitching a ride to the high school dance
And I don't know what we're going there for
The girls are so pretty in their shopping mall fashions
And we're so invisible to them
I feel like I'm in
Some John Hughes film
Like a dream we've all had
Where you can't run too fast
Tomorrow we'll wake up
Crying and smiling
Driving on up to the Hollywood party
I dunno what I'm going there for
There's too many fools and too many rules
And dress codes, and I'm one too many people there
They'll shake and they'll grin
Sharing 8 by 10's
They'll point and they'll laugh
At my photograph
Tomorrow they'll wake up
Crying and smiling...
And I don't know what we're going there for
No one's gonna talk to us, we'll look real silly
Staring at the gymnasium floor
With my two left feet
They'll laugh and they'll stare
At what my mom made me wear
Tomorrow I'll wake up
Crying and smiling
Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine
Sometimes
And I don't know what we're going there for
The girls are so pretty in their shopping mall fashions
And we're so invisible to them
Some John Hughes film
Like a dream we've all had
Where you can't run too fast
Tomorrow we'll wake up
Crying and smiling
I dunno what I'm going there for
There's too many fools and too many rules
And dress codes, and I'm one too many people there
Sharing 8 by 10's
They'll point and they'll laugh
At my photograph
Tomorrow they'll wake up
Crying and smiling...
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
this song is about the feeling you get at middle school dances. You want to go over and ask the girl to dance and talk to her, but you don't. It's about that really weird unsure feeling...then it goes on to tell you how that feeling lasts later in life, how you get the same kind of feeling at a hollywood party when you're surronded by people you don't know.
