Ub40 - Promises & Lies lyrics

You went out in a rush

And can't tell if it shows

She's looking over a lot

And he's still in his work clothes

You can't talk to members of the opposite sex

He starts to talk, they start to look perplexed

So with his eyes on the prize, and just a glance at her breasts

He walks over, and he says:

It's uncomfortable all night to sit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Move around like your shoes don't fit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Why is that cigarette unlit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

What's wrong? Scared to commit?

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Her friends are leaving,

She decides she's not going

She's been looking over a lot

And hopes it's been showing

She can't talk to members of the opposite sex

She starts to talk, they start to look perplexed

So with her eyes on the prize, and just a glance at her breasts

She goes over, and she says:

It's uncomfortable all night to sit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Move around like your shoes don't fit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

What's wrong? Scared to commit?

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

I don't care that your friends have split

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Here comes the really good bit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Move around like your shoes don't fit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

It's uncomfortable all night to sit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Why is that cigarette unlit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

I don't care that your friends have split

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Move around like your shoes don't fit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

What's wrong? Scared to commit?

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

It's uncomfortable all night to sit

Get on the dancefloor, it's a direct hit

Hit, hit, direct hit

Hit, hit, direct hit

Hit, hit, direct hit

Hit, hit, direct hit
