Allen Tate - Queen of the Room

Copied!

{Chorus}
Life of the party
Queen of the room
With every eye on
Your every move
Life of the party
What do I gotta do?
If I wanna dance and dance and dance and dance
Dance and dance and dance
With the queen of the room

{Verse 1}
No chance
First sight I stuck
Led in by the head
And by the gut
Compare all
The same stones
Discuss familiar territories
Couldn't quite get enough

{Verse 2}
Then one night
I saw you spinning
Just burning up the room
When I saw you spinning

{Pre-Chorus}
Of all the things
I'll ever get
To see and do
I'd give anything
To be the one
Spinning next to you

{Chorus}
Life of the party
Queen of the room
With every eye on
Your every move
Life of the party
What do I gotta do?
If I wanna dance and dance and dance and dance
Dance and dance and dance
With the queen of the room

{Verse 3}
Showed up
You showed me in
Fed me all the names
Of all your friends
That night
I saw you spinning
Just burning up the room
When I saw you spinning

{Pre-Chorus}
Of all the things
I'll ever get
To see and do
I'd give anything
To be the one
Spinning next to you

{Chorus}
Life of the party
Queen of the room
With every eye on
Your every move
Life of the party
What do I gotta do?
If I wanna dance and dance and dance and dance
Dance and dance and dance
With the queen of the room

Throughout his career, Tate delved into various topics in his writing, including politics, religion, and the complexities of the human experience.
