I hear people laughin' on the corner by the square The neon flickers on my wall and I know you're out there I'm in your bed and listenin' for your footsteps down the hall And I'll be waitin' for you after the ball After the ball is over after the ball If you cannot stand I've got a place for you to fall The blinds're drawn and I have turned the clock face to the wall I'll be waitin' for you after the ball [ guitar ] Lovin' you is sweet addiction I need only you Just as long as you come back go do what you want to do Give the night your laughter but I'll have you after all I'll be waitin' for you after the ball After the ball is over... After the ball is over...
