Lyrics
Ricky played the flute but she never had a use for it
Miming her part in the school band, while I took a solo
On the saxophone and I learned harmony
But she could dance, she could move, like the girls on the TV
Mum took her to Johnny Young Talent School, but she quit
She said that she got scared when they made her do the splits
She tried tap school and blew the teacher away
But the girls in the class teased her, saying she was too chubby
I remember when she told me
She cried in shame
I told her not to worry
We can do anything
I told her one day we'd be beautiful
And maybe we could start a band
'Cause I was born to sing
And she was born to dance
She was born to dance like the
Girls on the TV
Girls on the TV
She could always dance better than the
Girls on the TV
10am R&B
Well she could always dance better than me
Well she was bullied all day and made to feel like a fool
Mum was born again and decided to send her to the Christian school
On Thursdays her friends would dance in the spirit
At the school church, but Ricky laughed and never believed in it
We moved in with Mum's first boyfriend after Dad
He was only 21 and he'd always get mad
While I hid in my room writing poems after school
He tried to kiss Ricky on the piano stool
I remember when she told me
She was on cocaine
Well I felt like I didn't know her
Or how she got that way
Now, her lovers are all married
I wear my wedding ring on my right hand
Well maybe we weren't born to settle down
No, I was born to sing
And she was born to dance like the
Girls on the TV
Girls on the TV
She could always dance better than the
Girls on the TV
10am R&B
She could always dance better than the
Girls on the TV
She could always dance better than the
Girls on the TV
10am R&B
She could always dance better than the
Girls on the TV
She could always dance better than the
Girls on the TV
Always dance better than the
Girls on the TV
Always dance better than the
Girls on the TV
