  • Wake up in the morning with a head like 'What ya done?'
    This used to be the life but I don't need another one
    Good luck cuttin' nothin', carryin' on, you wear them gowns
    So how come I feel so lonely when you're up gettin' down?

    So I play along when I hear that favorite song
    I'm gonna be the one who gets it right
    You better know when you're swingin' 'round the room
    Looks like magic's solely yours 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 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 break it down when I'm not in the mood?
    Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
    Rather be home with no one if I can't get down 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 colors make a blind man so confused
    Then 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
    And I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine
    Just please understand when I see you clapped your hands
    If you stick around I'm sure that you'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 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 break it down when I'm not in the mood?
    Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
    Rather be home with no one if I can't get down 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 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 break it down when I'm not in the mood?
    Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
    Rather be home with no one if I can't get down with you Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Instantmagic from San Antone, TxI like SS, they sound like elton john, the bee gees, and abba all rolled into one. Love the seventies? You'll love this band.
  • Dave from Cardiff, WalesVery catchy, and finally a rebuke to tjat rubbish Bee Gees song (although rapper Blockster's 199 cover version of "You Should Be Dancing" was even worse than the brothers Gibbs'...)
