Lyrics

I lost my heart to a dancer

I fell in love with a dancer

An easy pick up for chancers

She was an easy target for opportunists

What she saw in me, I don't know

Uncertain about why she was interested in me

When she said she'd been behaving

She claimed to have behaved well

I found it hard to stop myself from laughing

Her statement struck me as humorous

I think I'll head off, in fact

Considering leaving the situation

You'd better dig me in deep guys

Request to bury me deeply, indicating a desire to move on

I won't be coming back

Firm decision not to return

What's that you said, my love?

Asking for clarification or repetition of a statement

Yes, I know what you've been through

Acknowledging awareness of partner's past experiences

And that's why I can't stay

Explaining the reason for not staying

We can no longer cheat you

Declaring an end to deception or dishonesty


I lost my heart to a dancer

Repetition of falling for a dancer

An easy pick up for chancers

Reiteration of her vulnerability to opportunists

What she saw in me, I don't know

Repeating uncertainty about her attraction to the speaker

She became depressed, that's down to boredom

Her depression attributed to boredom

She should have said

Suggesting she should have communicated her needs

I could have scored some things to pass the time

Offering alternatives to alleviate her boredom

Or took her out

Suggesting going out as one of the options

Yeah, turning in at eight

Questioning the significance of turning in early

What's that about

Seeking clarification about a particular behavior


What's that you said, my love?

Reiteration of seeking understanding or repetition

Yes, I know what you've been through

Confirming awareness of partner's past experiences

And that's why I can't stay

Reiterating the decision to leave due to understanding

We can no longer cheat on you

Final declaration of an end to deception towards the partner
