no dancing

oh i know that she

has made a fool of him

like girls have done so many nights before

time and time again

life is so strange

i don't know why

but somebody

somebody has to cry

there's gonna be no dancing when they get home

there's gonna be no dancing

there's gonna be no dancing

there's gonna be no dancing when they get home

now he's telling her

every little thing he's done

once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks

now he's read every one

he's such a drag

he's not insane

it's just that everybody

has to feel his pain

there's gonna be no dancing when they get home

he's getting down on his knees

he finds that the girl is not so easy to please

oh oh

after all

his nights were just a paper striptease

she's caught it like some disease

if he says no dancing

there's gonna be no dancing

there's gonna be no dancing on my own

she can't even speak to him

he can't face her now

he says even though i wanna shake your hand
