Lyrics

(D)Wake up in the ing with a head like, “What you done?” This (G)used to be the life, but I don’t need an oth er one.

(D)You like cut ting up and car ry’n’ on, you wear them gowns, so (G)how come I feel so lone ly when you’re up get ting down?

So I’ll play a long when I (F#m)hear that spe cial song,

(Am)I’m gon na be the one that gets it (G)right.

(Bm)You’d bet ter move when you’re (F#m)swing ing ’round the room,

(Am)looks like the ma gic’s on ly ours to (G)night.

But I don’t feel like danc in’ when the old Jo an na plays, my (G)heart could take a chance but my two feet can’t find a way.

You’d think that I could mus ter up a lit tle (C)soft shoe gen tle (G)sway, but I don’t feel like danc in’, no sir, no danc in’ to day.

I don’t feel like (D)danc in’, danc in’ e ven if I find noth ing bet ter to do.

Don’t feel like (G)danc in’ danc in’ why’d you pick a tune when I’m not in the mood?

Don’t feel like (A)danc in’ danc in’ I’d ra ther be home with the one in the (G)bed till dawn with (D)you.
