OPENER    
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well I understand.
It’s only natural, but why did it have to be me?
ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE the ring
Nights can be empty, and nights can be cold
So you were looking …
SWING and PROMENADE home
That’s only natural, but why did it have to be me?

FIGURE 1 and 3
HEADS (Sides) PROMENADE & take her HALFWAY round
Walk in and SQUARE THRU 4 hands now
Go all the way, a RIGHT & LEFT THRU, turn the girl
VEER LEFT and FERRIS WHEEL
SQUARE THRU it’s only THREE hands now
SWING the corner, PROMENADE on home
That’s only natural, but why did it have to be me?

FIGURE 2 and 4
HEADS (Sides) SQUARE THRU and take it 4 hands round
DOSADO the corner girl you found
SWING THRU, the BOYS RUN right and FERRIS WHEEL
* PASS THRU, SLIDE THRU
* SQUARE THRU it’s only THREE hands round
* SWING the corner, PROMENADE her home
That’s only natural, but why did it have to be me?

MIDDLE BREAK
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
You were so lonesome, you were blue
You couldn’t help it, it had to be you and I
I always though I knew the reason why
ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE the ring
You only wanted a little love affair
Now you can see …
SWING and PROMENADE
But baby, believe me, it’s better to forgive me.

CLOSER
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
You only wanted a little love affair
Now you can see I’m beginning to care.
But baby, believe me, it’s better to forgive me.
FOUR LADIES CHAIN, you turn that girl,
CHAIN HER right BACK HOME and
PROMENADE all the way
Do da do da do da do da doooo.
