I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet do the things they should do
Say, you know what? you're lovely
You know what? you're lovely, but oh, what you do to me
I'm like a ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Specially when you do continental
But this feeling isn't puraling mental
For heaving rest us, i'm not asbestos
And that's why i won't dace, why should i?
I won't dance, how could i? i won't dance
Merci beau coup, i know that music leads the way to romence
So if i hold you in my arms i won't dance
Oh, when you dace, you're charming and you're gentle
Specially when you do continental
But this feeling isn't puraling mental
For heaving rest us, i'm not asbestos
And that's why i won't dace, why should i?
I won't dance, how could i? i won't dance
Merci beau coup, i know that music leads the way to romence
So if i hold you in my arms i won't dance
