Lyrics
Why do you look so cold
Questioning the distant or unapproachable demeanor of the person being addressed.
Oh baby when you're standing there
Expressing admiration for the person when they are present.
Don't you know that style is so old
Criticizing the outdated nature of the person's style.
But you rock it like a nineteen seventy
Despite the outdated style, the person carries themselves with confidence reminiscent of the 1970s.
Up on the silver screen
Referencing the person's presence in a glamorous or cinematic context.
But you'll never see the ending
Suggesting an inability to foresee the outcome or consequences of their actions.
With your back up on that wall
Describing the person as reserved or passive in a social setting.
If there's something you could use
Suggesting that the person lacks emotional depth and could benefit from more heart or passion.
It's just a little bit of heart
Advocating for the infusion of genuine emotion or sincerity.
But I love it running away from the blues
Expressing love for the person's tendency to avoid or escape from sadness or negativity.
Tell me can you feel it coming all up off of your feet
Asking if the person can sense a positive change or development.
Tell me how does it feel to be the center of attention
Pondering the experience of being the focus of everyone's attention.
And oh are we crazy just for thinking
Questioning the rationality of aspiring to achieve everything.
That we could've had it all
Reflecting on missed opportunities or unrealized potential.
It's been on my mind I can't fight it
Admitting that the idea has been on the mind and is challenging to resist.
And if it's the truth I won't deny it
Acknowledging the truth and refusing to deny it.
Tell me how does it feel to be the center of
Continuing the inquiry about the feeling of being the center of attention.
My whole world
Affirming the person's significance in the speaker's world.
Can you feel it warming up now baby
Noticing a positive change or warming in the person's demeanor.
Because it's about time you get up on the floor
Encouraging the person to join the lively atmosphere.
And if you're feeling shy now lady
Addressing any hesitation the person may feel about participating.
Don't hesitate to leave it all alone
Advising the person to let go of inhibitions.
But I love it running away from the blues
Reiterating the love for the person's inclination to escape from negativity.
Tell me can you feel it coming all up off of your feet
Asking again if the person can sense positive changes.
Tell me how does it feel to be the center of attention
Revisiting the question of how it feels to be the center of attention.
And oh are we crazy just for thinking
Reconsidering the perceived craziness of aspiring to have it all.
That we could've had it all
Reflecting on missed opportunities or unrealized potential.
It's been on my mind I can't fight it
Admitting that the idea has been on the mind and is challenging to resist.
And if it's the truth I won't deny it
Acknowledging the truth and refusing to deny it.
Tell me how does it feel to be the center of
Continuing the inquiry about the feeling of being the center of attention.

Affirming the person's significance in the speaker's world.

Tell me how does it feel to be the center of attention
