Lyrics

Careless Whisper

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I feel so unsure,

As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.

As the music dies ...

Something in your eyes,

Calls to mind a silver screen,

And all it's sad goodbyes ...

I'm never gonna dance again,

Guilty feet have got no rhythm.

Though it's easy to pretend,

I know you're not a fool...

I should have known better than

To cheat a friend,

And waste a chance that I'd been given.

So I'm never gonna dance again,

The way I danced with you.

Time can never mend,

The careless whisper of a good friend

To the heart and mind,

Ignorance is kind

There's no comfort in the truth,

Pain is the hole you'll find.

I'm never gonna dance again,

Guilty feet have got no rhythm.

Though it's easy to pretend,

I know you're not a fool...

I should have known better than

To cheat a friend,

And waste a chance that I'd been given.

So I'm never gonna dance again,

The way I danced with you.

Tonight the music seems so loud,

I wish that we could lose this crowd

Maybe it's better this way,

We'd hurt each other with the things

We want to say

We could have been so good together,

We could have lived this dance forever

But now, who's gonna dance with me?

Please stay

I'm never gonna dance again,

Guilty feet have got no rhythm.

Though it's easy to pretend,

I know you're not a fool...

I should have known better than

To cheat a friend,

And waste a chance that I'd been given.

So I'm never gonna dance again,

The way I danced with you.
