Lyrics
0:00Romeo was restless he was ready to kill
0:03He jumped out the window cause he couldn't sit still
0:05Juliet was waiting with a safety net
0:08He said "Don't bury me cause I'm not dead yet"
0:11Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance
0:14I wanna know about the mystery dance
0:16Why don't you show me
0:18'Cause I've tried and I've tried
0:19And I'm still mystified
0:20I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
0:22Well I remember Friday night when the lights went out
0:25And I was tryin' to make it look like it was never in doubt
0:28She thought that I knew and I thought that she did
0:31So both of us were willing but we didn't know how to do it
0:34Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance
0:37I wanna know about the mystery dance
0:39Why don't you show me
0:41'Cause I've tried and I've tried
0:42And I'm still mystified
0:43I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
0:56Well I was underneath the covers in the middle of the night
0:58Tryin' to discover my left foot from my right
1:02You can see those pictures in any magazine
1:04But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean
1:07Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance
1:10I wanna know about the mystery dance
1:13Why don't you show me
1:14Cause I've tried and I've tried
1:15And I'm still mystified
1:16I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
1:18I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
1:20I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
1:22I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
1:25I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
1:28I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
1:31I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
1:33I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
