I'm dancing like a mad man

I hope she looks at me

I tend to be just on my own

Oh what a silly me

The club is full of people

Perhaps they think I'm mad

I close my eyes and I go home

I feel a little sad

I just can't dance

My only chance

I'm shy, I'm shy

Oh so shy

There's something in the way I move

I made it, then lost it

Do I look like in the groove

Or do I look like toasted

If I just knew she loved me

I know I wouldn't care

But she talks to the barman

And I think that's unfair

I just can't dance

My only chance

I'm sad, I'm sad

Oh so sad

And now that girl moves close to me

I join into her move

Pretending I enjoy it

And now I've lost the groove

One guy steps over between us

Shows up with all his power

And I feel like a idiot

Who stands in a cold shower

I just can't dance

My only chance

The barman stares ahead

A solo drink

He turns around

Offers a wink

I move away

But play it cool

I think she's right

I'm just a fool

I just can't dance

My only chance

I'm shy, I'm shy

Oh so shy
