I Won't Dance

Think of what you're losing by constantly refusing to dance with me

You'd be the idol of France with me

And yet you stand there and shake your foolish head dramatically

While I wait here so ecstatically, you just look and say emphatically

Not this season, yes, that's the reason

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 they should do, yes

You know what, you're lovely

So what, you're still 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

Yes, when you dance you're charming and you're gentle

Especially when you do the Continental

But this feelin' isn't purely mental

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

I know that music leads the way to romance

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

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, monsieur, with you

My heart won't let my feet do things they should do

You know what, you're handsome

And so what, you're handsome

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 you do the Continental

But this feeling isn't purely mental

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

I know that music leads the way to romance

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

Yes, I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I will not dance, madame, with you

Yes, my heart won't let my feet do things they should do

Yeah, you know what, you're kinda 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 shores

I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

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

Especially when you do the Continental

But this feelin' isn't purely mental

For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos, honey, oh, oh yes

And that's why

I won't dance, why should I?

I won't dance, how could I?

I won't dance, merci beaucoup

I know that music leads the way to romance

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