Lyrics
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band
Won’t play, we won’t dance.
I kid you not we were hot
When the weekend came we’d dance non-stop
No jitterbug no substitute
No twist and turn no crash and burn could top us two.
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band
Won’t play, we won’t dance.
As I dipped you down in your yellow dress
We’d brush the floor in a slow caress
As minutes turned to a rising sun
We’d leave the day to rest our dancing done.
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band
Won’t play, we won’t dance.
If I were God and controlled what is
I’d steal your shoes so you couldn’t dance with his
Well I’m not all that I could be
But you’ll never dance with him the way you danced with me.
We won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band
Won’t play, we won’t dance.
Well, I’m not all that I could be
But you’ll never dance with him the way you danced with me.
Well, we won’t dance no more
We won’t shine out on the floor
We won’t sway the band
Won’t play, we won’t dance…
