I'm supposed to dance at this ball
So I need to ask a girl, but that's not all
How do you get one alone to chat?
Why don't they say what they mean? Can you tell me that?
So I don't think that I want to go to this dance
I think I'd rather face the dragon
I think I'd rather face the dragon
'Cause a dragon, see, I can figure out
Sure they're big and mean and they're strong and they spout flames
They burn things up and they smash them apart
But at least they don't go playing with my heart
So I don't think that I want to go to this dance
I think I'd rather face the dragon
I think I'd rather face the dragon
Something's got to give
'Cause I don't want to be alone, on the dance-floor by myself
How can this be so hard?
When did everything become about this night?
My friends and I have seen so much - we've faced horrors no one can imagine
So why is talking to a girl I like harder than any fight?
I swear the next girl I see I'll just ask
There's no way it will be tougher than the second task
Then again, what if the one I ask says no?
What if she laughs at me and tells me just to go away?
So I don't think that I want to go to this dance
I think I'd rather face the dragon
I think I'd rather face the dragon
I think I'd rather face the dragon
I'd always rather face the dragon
