Careless Whisper

From Ladies & Gentlemen

Lyrics

Careless Whisper

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 and all its sad goodbyes I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all that you'll find I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you Never without your love Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But now who's gonna dance with me? Please, stay And I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you Now that you're gone Now, that you're gone Now that you're gone Was what I did so wrong, so wrong That you had to leave me alone?
