Back to Back  (Rainbow 1001)  Glenn Wilson  (Jeanne Pruett) 1979

BASIC 1

OPENER - CLOSER

Circle Left
We should be happy, just the way we are
Got a brand new house with a circle drive and a fancy car

Walk around your Corner, See-Saw your Own
Left Allemande and Weave the Ring
You look at your wall, I stare at mine
Swing that girl and Promenade in time
But furs and diamonds, and a Cadillac

Don’t mean a thing when you’re sleeping back to back

 FIGURE

Heads you Promenade Halfway and go
Lead to the Right, Circle 4, Make a Line

Fwd Up & Back, a Right & Left Thru

Turn then girls and Square Thru to 4
You look at your wall, I stare at mine
Swing that girl and Promenade in time
We don’t talk things over, we ignore the facts

Our love can’t live when it’s sleeping back to back

MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left

When we fell in love, we didn't have a dime
We spent our nights making love, not marking time
Walk around your Corner, See-Saw your Own
Left Allemande and Weave the Ring
You look at your wall, I stare at mine
Swing that girl and Promenade in time

I'd trade this mansion for a run down shack
Our love can’t live when it’s sleeping back to back

   TAG

Swing her, Our love can’t live when it’s sleeping back to back

ORIGINAL LYRICS

We should be happy just the way we are
We got a brand new house
With a circle drive and a fancy car
But furs and diamonds and a Cadillac
Don't mean a thing when you're sleeping back to back

You look at your wall
I stare at mine
But we never really seem to say
What's on our mind

We don't talk things over
We ignore the facts
That our love can't live
When it's sleeping back to back

Instrumental break

When I fell in love with you
You didn't have a dime
But we spent our nights making love not marking time
And I'd trade this mansion for a run down shack
And a man who don't believe in sleeping back to back

You look at your wall
I stare at mine
But we never really seem to say
What's on our mind

We don't talk things over
We ignore the facts
That our love can't live
When it's sleeping back to back

 

Our love can't live
When it's sleeping back to back
