I feel so unsure
as I take your hand
and lead you to the dancefloor
as the music dies
something in your eyes
calls to mind a silver-screen
and all its sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the change that I'd been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you oh oh

Time can never mend
the careless whispers
of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is the hall you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you oh oh

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
maybe it's better this way
we'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

We could have been so good together
we could have lived this dance forever
now who's gonna dance with me
please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the change that I'd been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you oh
Oh Baby

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the change that I'd been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you oh (repeat)
