Jane Monheit - I Won't Dance Lyrics

Artist: Jane Monheit

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Jazz

  • Songwriters: Dorothy Fields, Oscar Hammerstein, Otto Harbach, Jerome Kern, Jimmy Mchugh

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance this year with you
My heart won't let my feet do things they should do

You know what, you're lovely, you know what, so lovely
But oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos

And that's why I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beacoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos

And that's why I won't dance, I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beacoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance

I won't dance
I won't dance
I won't dance
