I Double Dare You - Audra McDonald

If I should say the night is grand

Would you demand a proof?

Or would you be indifferent and aloof?

You seem to think that half aloof is better than none

So maybe that’s the reason we’re not having any fun

I double dare you to sit over here

I double dare you to lend me your ear

Take off your high hat and let’s get friendly

Don’t be a scare cat

Say, what do you care?

Can’t you take a dare?

I double dare you to kiss me, and then

I double dare you to kiss me again

And if that look in your eyes means what I’m thinkin' of

I double dare you to fall in love with me

I double dare you

If I should try to read your mind

Would I be up a tree?

I wish I knew just what you think of me

Oh, you appear to be so shy

So, henceforth I speak

Please pardon my presumption

I hate playing hide-and-seek

I double dare you to sit over here

I double dare you to lend me your ear

Take off your high hat and let’s get friendly

Don’t be a scare cat

Say, what do you care?

Can’t you take a dare?

I double dare you to kiss me, and then

I double dare you to kiss me again

And if that look in your eyes means what I’m thinkin' of

I double dare you to fall in love with me

I double dare you
