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
