I Won't Dance Lyrics

von Fred Astaire

I won't dance. Don't ask me.
I won't dance. Don't ask me.
I won't dance, Madame, with you.
My heart won't let my feet do things they should do.
You know what? You're lovely.
You know what? You're lovely...
But oh, 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.
Ah, but when you dance you're charming and you're gentle.
Especially 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 leads the way to romance.
So if I hold you in my arms... I won't dance.
(Instumentals)

Oh when you dance, you're charming
And you're gentle.
Especially when you do that Continental.

But this feeling isn't purely mental.
For heaven rest us
I'm not
Asbesdos.
That's why, I won't dance.
Why should I?
I won't dance.
How could I?
I won't dance, Merci bocoup
I know that music leads the way to romance.
So if I hold you in my arms,
I won't dance.
