I Can’t Dance - Genesis
Album: We Can't Dance
genre: Blues Dance Rock
Hot sun beating down
Burning my feet just walking around
Hot sun making me sweat
Gators getting close, hasn’t got me yet
I can’t dance, I can’t talk
Only thing about me is the way I walk
I can’t dance, I can’t sing
I’m just standing here selling everything
Blue jeans sitting on the beach
Her dogs talking to me, but she’s out of reach
She’s got a body under that shirt
But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt
Cos, I can’t dance, I can’t talk
Only thing about me is the way I walk
I can’t dance, I can’t sing
I’m just standing here selling
Oh and checking everything is in place
You never know who’s looking on
Young punk spilling beer on my shoes
Fat guys talking to me trying to steal my blues
Thick smoke, see her smiling through
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool
But I can’t dance, I can’t talk
The only thing about me is the way that I walk
I can’t dance, I can’t sing
I’m just standing here selling
Oh and checking everything is in place
You never know who’s looking on
A perfect body with a perfect face – uh-huh
No, I can’t dance, I can’t talk
The only thing about me is the way I walk
No, I can’t dance, I can’t sing
I’m just standing here selling everything
But I can walk
No, I can’t dance
No no no I can’t dance
No, I said I can’t sing
But I can walk
