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
