I feel so unsure
as I take your hand
and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
and all it's sad goodbye
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 have 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
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 all you 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 have 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
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
But now who's gonna
dance with me
please stay
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 have 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
