Baby Was A Dancer Songtext
von Billy Porter

She was born in September of ′69
And the summer of lovers ended that night
So since day one she was in over drive
Always looking for lovin' she couldn′t find

Every preacher told her she's a sinner
'Cause she moved ahead of her time
While taking her mama′s money, claiming it′d save her life

Baby was a dancer
Two-step her way to Heaven
Baby was a dancer
She was born to be a legend

Baby, baby was a dancer (woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (woo)

She studied the classics like Balanchine
And moved to the future like Billie Jean
A certified trophy, a disco queen
A high-kicking hustler on the streets


Every teacher told her she won't make it
′Cause she moved ahead of her time
Ever taking her mama's money tryna save his life

Baby was a dancer
Two-step her way to Heaven
Baby was a dancer
She was born to be a legend

Baby, baby was a dancer (woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (woo)

She was prepared for a life that would never be easy
But no one could stop her from dancing all over the ceiling (woo)

Baby was a dancer
Two-step her way to Heaven
Baby was a dancer
She was born to be a legend

Baby, baby was a dancer (woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (woo)

Baby, baby was a dancer (woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (woo)
