No Dancing Lyrics

Elvis Costello

Oh, I know that she has made 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 There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
There's gonna be no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
Now he's telling her every little thing he's done Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks Now he's read every one, he's such a drag He's not insane, it's just that everybody has to feel his pain There's gonna be no dancing when they get home
He's getting down on his knees He finds that the girl is not so easy to please Oh, oh, after all, his nights were just a paper striptease She's caught it like some disease
If he says, no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing There's 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 now you see how can it be Why can't you give me anythin' but sympathy?"
There's gonna be no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing There's gonna be no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing There's gonna be no dancing on my own
