I Won't Dance (2023 Remaster)
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Monsieur, with you
My heart won't let my feet
Do things that they should do
You know what, you're lovely
So what, I'm lovely
But oh, what you do to me
I'm like an 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
Especially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos
And that's why I won't dance, 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 romance
And if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, I'm not a space star
And that's why I won't dance, 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 romance
And if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Monsieur, with you
My heart won't let my feet
Do things that they should do
You know what, you're lovely
So what, I'm lovely
But oh, what you do to me
I'm like an 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
Especially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos
And that's why I won't dance, 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 romance
And if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, I'm not a space star
And that's why I won't dance, 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 romance
And if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
