I Don't Dance Lyrics

He said let's go out for drinks
And we'll talk some business
I was young I didn't think
And the next thing I knew
I was driving his Rolls Royce
Trying to keep him off my dress
I'd never been in a Rolls Royce
But I wasn't impressed

Can't you tell
I don't dance well
No I don't dance oh I don't dance no
I don't dance well

I kept bringing up his wife
And I told him I went to church
He said oh that's very nice
Then the waiter brought our food
I was hungry so I ate
Then I said it's getting late
And I wish you'd take me home
But he wanted to dance

Can't you tell
I don't dance well
I don't dance oh I don't dance
Oh I don't dance well
When I hate the music
When I hate the song
Turn off the radio-awhoa-awhoa

I was fired soon after (bummer)
And my boyfriend was so mad
I collected my two weeks pay
And that was the end of that

Can't you tell I don't dance well
I don't dance oh I don't dance oh I don't dance well
When I hate the music
When I hate the song
Turn off the radio-awhoa-awhoa
Cause I don't dance
For just anyone.

He said let's go out for drinks 
And we'll talk some business 
I was young I didn't think 
And the next thing I knew 
I was driving his Rolls Royce
Trying to keep him off my dress 
I'd never been in a Rolls Royce
But I wasn't impressed

Can't you tell
I don't dance well 
No I don't dance oh I don't dance no 
I don't dance well

I kept bringing up his wife 
And I told him I went to church 
He said oh that's very nice 
Then the waiter brought our food 
I was hungry so I ate 
Then I said it's getting late
And I wish you'd take me home
But he wanted to dance

Can't you tell 
I don't dance well 
I don't dance oh I don't dance
Oh I don't dance well
When I hate the music 
When I hate the song
Turn off the radio-awhoa-awhoa

I was fired soon after (bummer) 
And my boyfriend was so mad 
I collected my two weeks pay 
And that was the end of that

Can't you tell I don't dance well
I don't dance oh I don't dance oh I don't dance well 
When I hate the music 
When I hate the song 
Turn off the radio-awhoa-awhoa 
Cause I don't dance 
For just anyone.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
