TUNESMITH TUESDAY - "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" by Scissor Sisters

"I Don't Feel Like Dancin'"

Wake up in the morning with a head like 'what you done?'

This used to be the life, but I don't need another one.

You like cuttin' up and carrying on, you wear them gowns.

So how come I feel so lonely when you're up getting down?

So I'll play along when I hear that special song

I'm gonna be the one who gets it right.

You'd better move when you're swingin' 'round the room

Looks like the magic's only ours tonight

But I don't feel like dancin'

When the old Joanna plays

My heart could take a chance

But my two feet can't find a way

You'd think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway

But I don't feel like dancin'

No, sir, no dancin' today.

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

Even if I find nothin' better to do

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

I'd rather be home with the one in the bed 'til dawn with you,

Cities come and cities go just like the old empires

When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile.

You got so many colours, make a blind man so confused.

So why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?

So, I'll just pretend that I know which way to bend

I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine.

So, please understand, when I see you clap your hands

If you stick around I'm sure that I'll be fine

But I don't feel like dancin'

When the old Joanna plays

My heart could take a chance

But my two feet can't find a way

You'd think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway

But I don't feel like dancin'

No, sir, no dancin' today.

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

Even if I find nothin' better to do

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

I'd rather be home with the one in the bed 'til dawn with you,

You can't make me dance around

But your two-step makes my chest pound.

Just lay me down as you float away into the shimmer light.

But I don't feel like dancin'

When the old Joanna plays

My heart could take a chance

But my two feet can't find a way

You'd think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway

But I don't feel like dancin'

No, sir, no dancin' today.

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

Even if I find nothin' better to do

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

I'd rather be home with the one in the bed 'til dawn with you,

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

Even if I find nothin' better to do

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood?

Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

I'd rather be home with the one in the bed 'til dawn with you
