No Dancing

[Verse 1]

I know that she has made a fool of him

Like girls have done so many nights before time and time again

Life is so strange, I don't know why

But somebody, somebody has to cry

There's gonna be no dancing when they get home

[Chorus]

There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing when they get home

[Verse 2]

Now he's telling her every little thing he's done

Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks, now he's read every one

He's such a drag, he's not insane

It's just that everybody has to feel his pain

There's gonna be no dancing when they get home

[Bridge]

He's getting down on his knees

He finds that the girl is not so easy to please

Oh, oh, after all, his nights were just a paper striptease

She's caught it like some disease

[Chorus]

If he says, "No dancing," there's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing on my own

[Verse 3]

She can't even speak to him, he can't face her now

He says, "Even though I want to shake your hand, all I ever do is bow

So now you see how it can be

Why can't you give me anything but sympathy?"

[Outro]

There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing on my own
