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 those sad goodbyes
Im never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend,
I know youre not a fool
I should have no better than to cheat a friend,
And waste the chance that Id been given.
So Im 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,
If your answers kind&
Theres no comfort in the truth,
Pain is all youll find
What am I without your love?
Tonight the music seems so loud,
I wish that we could lose the crowd.
Maybe its better this way,
Wed hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together,
We could have made this last forever&
But now, whos gonna dance with me?
Please stay
(alternatively):
And now its never gonna be
That way&
Now that youre gone&
Now that youre gone&
Now that youre gone&
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
