No Dancing - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I know that she has made 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

There's gonna be no dancing when they get home

There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing when they get home

Now he's telling her every little thing he's done

Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks, now he's read every one

He's such a drag, he's not insane

It's just that everybody has to feel his pain

There's gonna be no dancing when they get home

He's getting down on his knees

He finds that the girl is not so easy to please

Oh, oh, after all, his nights were just a paper striptease

She's caught it like some disease

If he says, "No dancing," there's gonna be no dancing

There's 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 want to shake your hand, all I ever do is bow

So now you see how it can be

Why can't you give me anything but sympathy?"

There's gonna be no dancing

There's gonna be no dancing on my own
