Lyrics
Yeah I like this song too
Expressing appreciation for the song.
And that dress looks good on you
Complimenting the person on their appearance.
I know it sounds crazy in a place like this
Acknowledging the unusual setting for the conversation.
And any other guy would tell you yes
Suggesting that in a different circumstance, others might agree.
Don't take this personal, but I gotta tell you no
Politely declining a request, adding a personal touch.
I don't dance, 'cause once we get on the floor
Explaining the reluctance to dance due to potential consequences.
Every song I'll hold you closer than the one before
Describing the escalating intimacy with each song.
And you know that'll lead to a couple of drinks
Anticipating the progression to more intimate settings.
Before you know it we'll be back at your place and
Hinting at the possibility of going to the person's place.
You might ask me to stay the night
Suggesting the potential for spending the night together.
And I'll be gone by the morning light
Indicating a commitment issue, leaving before morning.
And that would break your heart
Recognizing the potential for causing emotional pain.
And I don't wanna take that chance
Expressing a desire to avoid taking risks with emotions.
So I don't dance
Reiterating the decision not to dance due to emotional reasons.
You see the last girl I was with
Reflecting on a past relationship that had a profound impact.
Oh yeah she really did me in
Confirming the emotional impact of the previous relationship.
I ain't over her yet, honey I won't lie
Admitting to not being fully over the past relationship.
If I was in your arms, she'd be on my mind
Imagining thoughts about the past lover while being close.
As much as I'd like to
Expressing a desire to connect despite emotional challenges.
As much as I like you
Acknowledging feelings for the current person.
I don't dance, 'cause once we get on the floor
Reiterating the decision not to dance due to emotional reasons.
Every song I'll hold you closer than the one before
Describing the increasing closeness with each dance.
And you know that'll lead to a couple of drinks
Anticipating the progression to more intimate settings.
Before you know it we'll be back at your place and
Hinting at the possibility of going to the person's place.
You might ask me to stay the night
Suggesting the potential for spending the night together.
And I'll be gone by the morning light
Indicating a commitment issue, leaving before morning.
And that would break your heart
Recognizing the potential for causing emotional pain.
And I don't wanna take that chance
Expressing a desire to avoid taking risks with emotions.
So I don't dance
Reiterating the decision not to dance due to emotional reasons.
And I might look like a fool
Acknowledging a potential appearance of social awkwardness.
Sittin' all night on this stool
Describing the act of sitting as the only comfortable option.
But it's all that I can do
Expressing limitations in engaging in certain activities.
I don't dance, 'cause once we get on the floor
Reiterating the decision not to dance due to emotional reasons.
Every song'll bring us closer than the one before
Describing the increasing closeness with each dance.
And you know that'll lead to a couple of drinks
Anticipating the progression to more intimate settings.
Before you know it we'll be back at your place and
Hinting at the possibility of going to the person's place.
You might ask me to stay the night
Suggesting the potential for spending the night together.
And I'll be gone by the morning light
Indicating a commitment issue, leaving before morning.
And that would break your heart
Recognizing the potential for causing emotional pain.
And I don't wanna take that chance
Expressing a desire to avoid taking risks with emotions.
So I don't dance
Reiterating the decision not to dance due to emotional reasons.
I don't dance
Concluding the refrain with the firm decision not to dance.
