Lyrics
0:00Oh I know that she
0:04Has mad a fool of him
0:07Like girls have done so many nights before
0:12Time and time again
0:16Life is so strange
0:18I don't know why
0:19But somebody
0:20Somebody has to cry
0:23Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home
0:30Theres gonna be no dancing
0:34Theres gonna be no dancing
0:37Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home
0:47Now hes telling her
0:51Every little thing hes done
0:55Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks
0:58Now hes read every one
1:02Hes such a drag
1:04Hes not insane
1:06Its just that everybody
1:07Has to feel his pain
1:10Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home
1:18Hes getting down on his knees
1:20He finds that her brothers not so easy to please
1:24After all his nights were just a paper striptease
1:28She's caught it like some disease
1:31If he says no dancing
1:35Theres gonna be no dancing
1:39Theres gonna be no dancing on my own
1:48She can't even speak to him
1:52He can't face her now
1:56He says even though I wanna shake your hand
2:00All I ever do is bow
2:04So know you see
2:06How can it be
2:08Why can't you give me anythin but sympathy
2:11Theres gonna be no dancing
2:15Theres gonna be no dancing
2:18Theres gonna be no dancing
2:22Theres gonna be no dancing
2:25Theres gonna be no dancing on my own
Oh I know that she Has mad a fool of him Like girls have done so many nights before Time and time again Life is so strange I don't know why But somebody Somebody has to cry Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home Theres gonna be no dancing Theres gonna be no dancing Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home Now hes telling her Every little thing hes done Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks Now hes read every one Hes such a drag Hes not insane Its just that everybody Has to feel his pain Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home Hes getting down on his knees He finds that her brothers not so easy to please After all his nights were just a paper striptease She's caught it like some disease If he says no dancing Theres gonna be no dancing Theres gonna be no dancing on my own She can't even speak to him He can't face her now He says even though I wanna shake your hand All I ever do is bow So know you see How can it be Why can't you give me anythin but sympathy Theres gonna be no dancing Theres gonna be no dancing Theres gonna be no dancing Theres gonna be no dancing Theres gonna be no dancing on my own
