careless whisper

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 its 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 the chance that i've been given

so i'm never gonna dance again

the way i danced with you

time can never mend

the careless whispers of a good friend

to the heart and mind

ignorance is kind

there's no comfort in the truth

pain is all you 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 the chance that i've 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 danced 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 the chance that i've been given

so i'm never gonna dance again

the way i danced with you

now i'm never gonna dance again

now it's easy to pretend

i should have known better than to cheat a friend

maybe

maybe
