lirik lagu getting ready for the dance – the cast of how to dance in ohio

[verse 1]

[johanna]
my mother took me to the dress department
at the dillard’s in the mall
which dress, which shoes will cinderella choose to wear to the ball?

[terry]
my mother taught me how to blot my lipstick
how to pin the boutonniere
we played crazy 8s while we waited for my date to appear
so many things the other kids do
ours get never’s, no’s, and can’t’s

[johanna & terry]
i want a picture of my daughter
getting ready for the dance

[verse 2]

[terry]
my boyfriend picked me up at half past seven
in a rented limousine
three hundred bucks, one rented tux, and i was fit to be queen
[johanna]
i ruled the dance floor with a pack of girlfriends
doing soul train in the gym

[terry]
wearing green with yellow trim

[johanna]
eyeing this guy at every slow song
but afraid to talk to him

[terry]
twirling faster, limb on limb

[johanna]
so many moments they miss out on
just by lack of circumstance

[johanna & terry]
i want the memory of my daughter
getting ready for the dance

[bridge]

[johanna]
the costume jewelry
[terry]
the drugstore perfume

[johanna & terry]
felt so romantic

[johanna]
i was terrified

[terry]
i was terrified

[johanna & terry]
equal parts excited, frantic

[terry]
i want the same for her
to enjoy, to endure one small victory

[johanna]
‘cause we could use a victory

[johanna & terry]
each small victory can feel gigantic

[verse 3]

[johanna]
i made it home moments before my curfew

[terry]
i stayed out past my curfew

[johanna]
kicked my shoes off at the door

[terry]
out with joe vallante

[johanna]
nothing particular had changed

[terry]
lost one shoe, threw up

[johanna & terry]
but i grew up a bit more
so many things the other kids do
ours can finally take the chance
i want a picture of my daughter
getting ready for the dance
