Circle left
Somebody's gonna hurt someone, before the night is through
Left allemande, and then you dosado
Left allemande then you weave
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know - Lord I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know - yes I know

Heads (sides) square thru get 4 hands round
Dosado that corner girl
Swing thru, and now the boys run right
1/2 tag, walk & dodge, a partner trade
You pass the ocean here, you recycle round
Swing the corner girl and promenade
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know - yes I know

Sides face grand square
Everybody wants to touch somebody, before it takes too long
Sometime before the sun comes up, the radio is gonna play that song
4 ladies promenade the ring, you get back home and swing
Swing the man around and promenade
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know - yes I know

4 boys promenade once inside the ring and go
Swing the lady round and round and round
Join your hands and circle left, go walking round the set
And do a left allemande and weave
We can beat around the bushes, we can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parking lot, but either way I know There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know - Lord I know
