No Dancing - Elvis Costello

作词：Elvis Costello

作曲：Elvis Costello

Oh I know that she

Has mad a fool of him

Like girls have done so many nights before

Time and time again

Life is so strange

I don't know why

But somebody

Somebody has to cry

Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home

Now hes telling her

Every little thing hes done

Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks

Now hes read every one

Hes such a drag

Hes not insane

Its just that everybody

Has to feel his pain

Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home

Hes getting down on his knees

He finds that her brothers not so easy to please

After all his nights were just a paper striptease

She's caught it like some disease

If he says no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing on my own

She can't even speak to him

He can't face her now

He says even though I wanna shake your hand

All I ever do is bow

So know you see

How can it be

Why can't you give me anythin but sympathy

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing on my own
