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.

What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 112 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
