Lyrics

I Can't Dance

I can't dance, I never could

I guess my feet don't match

I'd get out there on the floor

But I'm afraid of hurtin' my back

I can't dance

I guess I'm just one of the unfortunate few

So just for a little bit, baby, I'll come out and dance with you

But I can't dance and I'm feelin' so good, yeah

Some of us can, some of us can't

Some of us wish that they could dance

I can't dance

I guess I'm just one of the unfortunate few

So just for a little bit, baby, I'll come out and dance with you

I can't dance and I'm feelin' so good, yeah

Some of us can, some of us can't

Some of us wish that they could dance

I can't dance

I guess I'm just one of the unfortunate few

So just for a little bit, baby, I'll come out and dance with you

Yeah, just for a little bit, baby, I'll come out and dance with you

Yeah, just for a little bit, baby, I'll come out and dance with you
