| intro |
Sh-bop sh-bop, sh-bop sh-bop, sh-bop sh-bop, oh-oh |
| |
|
1. |
Your open arms, your open heart |
| |
Dancing’s such a gentle art |
| |
You're much too smooth. I’ve got a clue, so |
| |
I Don’t Want to Dance With You |
| |
|
| chorus |
No bump and turn, no spin and dip |
| |
No empty words from tempting lips |
| |
No sudden void when the music’s through |
| |
No, I Don’t Want to Dance With You |
| |
|
| turn |
Sh-bop sh-bop, sh-bop sh-bop, sh-bop sh-bop, oh-oh |
| |
|
2. |
Your hands are strong, you hold me tight |
| |
I close my eyes and feel the night |
| |
It’s much too late, you’re right on cue, but |
| |
I Don’t Want to Dance With You |
| |
|
| chorus |
No dip and bump, no turn and spin |
| |
Don’t push me out. Don’t pull me in |
| |
It’s a careless dance you do |
| |
Oh, I Don’t Want to Dance With You |
| |
|
turn |
Sh-bop sh-bop, sh-bop sh-bop, sh-bop sh-bop, oh-oh |
| |
|
| bridge |
All the right moves, all the right words |
| |
You stood too tall: my voice went unheard |
| |
Heart beats loud and right in time |
| |
We do the steps; the dance unwinds |
| |
|
3. |
The dance was slow. I’m out of breath |
| |
The sudden stop; the little death |
| |
You drop my hand and say “Adieu” |
| |
I didn’t want to dance with you |
| |
|
| chorus |
No spin and dip, no bump and turn |
| |
No feeling that I’ll never learn |
| |
Your hands, they lied. I know what’s true |
| |
I didn’t want to dance |
| |
I didn’t want to dance |
| |
But I'm glad I got to dance with you |
| |
|
| coda |
Sh-bop sh-bop, sh-bop sh-bop, sh-bop sh-bop, oh-oh |
| |
Oooooooh |
