Careless Whisper

Ben Folds · The Best Imitation Of Myself - A Retrospective [2011]

I feel so unsure

As I take your hand

And lead you to the dancefloor

As the music dies

Something in your eyes

Calls to mind the silver screen

And all it's sad goodbyes



I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet ain't got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

I shoulda known better than to cheat a friend

And waste a chance that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you



Time can never heal

The carless whispers

Of a good friend

To the heart and mind

Ignorance is kind

There's no comfort in the truth

Pain is all you find



I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet ain't got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

I shoulda known better than to cheat a friend

And waste a chance that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you



Tonight the music seems so loud

I wish that we could lose this crowd

Baby, it's better this way

We hurt each other with the things we wanna say



We could have been so good together

We could have made this last forever

But now who's gonna dance with me?



I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet ain't got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

I shoulda known better than to cheat a friend

And waste a chance that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again

The way I danced with you
