I feel so unsure as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies, something in your eyes calls to mind a silver screen All its sad goodbyes, eyes, eyes I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm No, it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool Should've known better than to cheat a friend Waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I dance with you Time can never mend the careless whisper of a good friend To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm No, it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool Should've known better than to cheat a friend Waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I dance with you Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We could hurt each other with the things we wanna say We could've been so good together We could've lived this dance forever But now who's gonna dance with me? Please stay I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm No, it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool Should've known better than to cheat a friend Waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I dance with you The way I dance with you
