Wake up in the morning with a head like what you've done
This used to be the life, but I don't need another one
You're not cutting up and getting on with them gowns
So how come I feel so lonely when you're up getting down
So I'll wait alone when I hear that dance of song
I'm gonna be the one who gets it right
You better know when you're swinging round the room
Looks like magic's only on the line
But I don't feel like dancing when the old gentleman plays
My heart could take a chance, but my two feet can't find a way
You think that I could muster up a little song
To help you dance this way
But I don't feel like dancing, no sir, no dancing today
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Giving up and finding the best to do
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Watching Rick and Terry when I'm not in the mood
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Back at the house with the one in the bed to die with you
City's come and city's gone, just like the old empires
When all you do is change your clothes and it goes that first style
You've got so many colors, make a blind man so confused
Then why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?
So why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?
I just pretend that I know which way to bend
I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine
So please understand when I see you flap your hands
You stick around, I'm sure that you're fine
But I don't feel like dancing when the old gentleman plays
My heart could take a chance, but my two feet can't find a way
You think that I could muster up a little song
To help you dance this way
But I don't feel like dancing, no sir, no dancing today
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Even if I'm fine, I've got the best to do
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Watch as Rick and Terry when I'm not in the mood
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Back at the house with the one in the bed to die with you
You can't make me dance around
But your two-step makes my chest pound
Just lay me down
As you float away into the shimmer light
But I don't feel like dancing when the old gentleman plays
My heart could take a chance, but my two feet can't find a way
You think that I could muster up a little song
To help you dance this way
But I don't feel like dancing, no sir, no dancing today
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Even if I'm fine, I've got the best to do
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Watch as Rick and Terry when I'm not in the mood
Don't feel like dancing, dancing
Back at the house with the one in the bed to die with you
