"I Don't Wanna Dance" lyrics

"I Don't Wanna Dance"

I don't wanna dance no more
Not since you walked out that door
Left without a second glance
That's the end of my romance
No more fancy footwork in the nightclub
I'm a still point in a turning world

I don't wanna dance tonight
I can hardly stand the sight
Of lovers moving on the floor
There's a memory I can't ignore
Of listening to the DJ play the record
Take your partner and move around
And I'm dancing in my baby's arms again

I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance

Every night it's always there
The memory of our sad affair
I'm underneath the coloured lights
You're asking me am I all right
I can only answer "I'm the dancer
Whose sense of rhythm is paralysed"
Till I'm dancing in my baby's arms again

I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my sweetheart
I don't wanna dance...tonight.
