Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - I Can't Dance lyrics

I Can't Dance

(J. Lyon/M. Noble)

I was so in love with the sounds I was hearing

When I was a child

But lately I can't find that rhythm and I, well I don't know why

I tell myself my ears are still ringing

From life going upside my head

But when I hear that sweet soul singin'

Well I'm a wild child again

Yes I am

You know I can't dance and I never could

But when I feel that rhythm

Well, it sounds do good, I wish I could

I wanna dance dance dance

But I can't dance

I wanna dance dance dance

Oh, I can't dance

I've been walkin' round this mean old town

A sad and lonely boy

Seems I've forgotten those garage band days

When everything was a joy

We'd ride around in Garry's rusty Ford

With that radio turned up so loud

And head on down to the Upstage Club

And join that madding crowd

Now when I hear those old soul songs

Well it makes my heart just swell

You know I love to hear that one by Archie Bell and the Drells

Yea that one

I wanna dance dance dance

No, I can't dance

I wanna dance dance dance

But I'm afraid to take that chance

I can't dance

No never mind

I'm not gonna get on the floor and make a fool of myself

Just so you guys can have a laugh, forget it

Yea I wanna dance dance dance

I wanna dance one time

I got to dance, need to dance

I wanna dance dance dance

No no, but I can't dance

I wanna dance dance dance

I wanna dance but I know

That I can't dance, I can't dance

Oh, I'd love to get out there on the floor

Just like I used to see the old Cadillacs do it

Get up and dance

Ain't it beautiful
