my lack of rhythm
keeps me from romance
because i'm a white guy
who can't dance

standing in the corner
with cake and the punch
and mrs. albert
the math teacher

smell the germans
in the disco in leather pants
they get so frisky
when they dance

i can't forgive them
they touched you while they danced
and they break-danced
they can dance

i could not wait to see your face that night
i could not wait to smell your skin that night
your corsage fell while dancing in the light
i could not wait to see your face that night

i'd like to dance but i don't know how
and i don't have the money to buy
a new set of dance shoes whenever i want
i want to dance

chorus:
can't you see through the music any more?
can't you see that a simple movement would do just fine?
why don't you do that fancy dance anymore?

let your belly shake while it carries your legs
when you're dancing with bradley or dancing with greg
or dancing with logan or dancing with ted
i want to dance

chorus
