"10 Minutes" lyrics

(The newer ones on the radio play in the long run depends upon three things: intelligent listening, informed criticism, and good writing for microphones)

I wrote a happy song
I tried to sing along
But I was faking it yeah I was faking it
I put some make-up on to turn myself on
But I was faking it
I'm really good at it

And oh
It's killing me, killing me
(It's killing me, killing me)

Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor

These tears keep on falling, but I like the taste
Give me a moment to wipe off my face
Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor

I dragged myself out, just to get out
But I regret it now yeah, I regret it now
'Cause everybody here is smiling ear to ear
I tried to play along
But it just feels so wrong

And oh
It's killing me, killing me
(It's killing me, killing me)

Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor

These tears keep on falling, but I like the taste
Give me a moment to wipe off my face
Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor

Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor

These tears keep on falling, but I like the taste
Give me a moment to wipe off my face
Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
Don't wanna be sad anymore
Can I get ten minutes?
Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
