The smiles and the glances How you measure your chances Don't deny Don't deny Strong and pretentious Blind to my senses Don't deny Don't deny Don't deny me Don't taint my heart You deny my fears You deny my tears You deny a tender child You deny my pride You think I'm defenceless You take me for granted You think I'm defenceless But I will rise above my weakness You think I'm defenceless You don't deny the sun The wind on your face You don't deny the stars The lies and the glances The maddening offences Don't deny Don't deny Retreats and advances We all know the dances
