Blossom Dearie - I Won’t Dance lyrics

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, miss you, with you
My heart won't let my feet do
Things that they should do

You know what, you're handsome
You know what, too handsome
But oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's
Bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance
You're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us
I am not asbestos and that's why

I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, Merci beau coup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance

When you dance
You're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us
I am not asbestos and that's why

Which means when I'm in your
Arms I won't dance
