I Don't Wanna Dance
Hey Monday · Beneath It All [2010]
And now you're back for more
Your song's the same
Leave me with all the blame
I don't have time for another game
I don't wanna dance
So don't you ask me, babe
I don't wanna dance
You blew your chance
To rock my night away
I want some fun
But you're so not the one
I don't wanna dance
So let it go
You'll never take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Talk to me without a sound
'Cause you were such a tool
Who's sorry now?
You, you're shaking on the floor
Watch me walking out the door
I don't wanna dance
So don't you ask me, babe
I don't wanna dance
You blew your chance
To rock my night away
I want some fun
But you're so not the one
I don't wanna dance
So let it go
You'll never take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Don't tell the DJ to hit rewind
Tonight, there's no you and me
Don't play that record
Don't waste your time
You, you threw it all away
I don't wanna dance
So don't you ask me, babe
I don't wanna dance
You blew your chance
To rock my night away
I want some fun
But you're so not the one
I don't wanna dance
So let it go
You'll never take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
I Don't Wanna Dance
