Intro: 8 Takte 

Strophe: 

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 you're its sad goodbye 

Refrain:  

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 a chance that I've been given 

So I'm never gonna dance again the way I dance with you  Oh  

Instrumental: 4 Takte 

Strophe: 

Time can never mend    

- the careless whisper of a good friend 

- To the heart and mind, - ignorance is kind 

There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find 

Refrain:  

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 a chance that I've been given 

So I'm never gonna dance again the way I dance with you  Oh 

Solo: 8 Takte

Zwischenteil: 

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 for ever 

But now who's gonna dance with me 

Please dance 

Refrain:  

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 a chance that I've been given 

So I'm never gonna dance again the way I dance with you, oh 

Solo: 4 Takte 

Coda:  

- Now that you're gone, now that you're gone 

- Now that you're gone 

I went at this so wrong 

So wrong, that you had to leave me alone 

Instrumental: 16 Takte
