I Won't Dance Lyrics - Bill Charlap

I won't dance, don't ask me 

I won't dance, don't ask me 

I won't dance, Madame, with you 

My heart won't let my feet do things that you do 

You know what? You're lovely 

And so what? I'm lovely 

But, oh, what you do to me 

I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore 

I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor 

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle 

Especially when we do the Continental 

But this feeling isn't purely mental 

For, heaven rest us, we're not asbestos 

And that's why I won't dance, why should I? 

I won't dance, how could I? 

I won't dance, merci beaucoup 

We know that music leads the way to romance, 

So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance 

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle 

Especially when we do the Continental 

But this feeling isn't purely mental (Oh really) 

For, heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos 

And that's why I won't dance, why should I? 

I won't dance, how could I? 

I won't dance, merci beaucoup 

We know that music leads the way to romance 

So if I hold you in my arms 

I won't dance 

I won't dance 

I won't dance 

I won't dance 

I won't dance, dance, dance, 

I won't dance 

Dance
