Blossom Dearie - I Won't Dance lyrics

rate me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance monsieur with you

My heart won't let me feet do things that they should do

You know what, you're handsome

You know what, too handsome

Oh but what you do to me

I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore

I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle

'Specially when you do The Continental

But this feeling isn't purely mental

For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos

And that's why

I won't dance, why should I?

I won't dance, how could I?

I won't dance, merci beaucoup

I know that music lead the way to romance

So if you hold me in your arms I won't dance

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle

'Specially when you do The Continental

But this feeling isn't purely mental

For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos

And that's why

[in french]

Je ne danse pas, je ne peux pas

Je ne danse pas, je ne veux pas

Je ne danse pas, merci beaucoup

Vous êtes gentil et je vous aimes

C'est vrai

Mais je n'peux danser quand vous êtes si près

Which means when I'm in your arms I won't dance
