Careless Whisper
Kenny G · Other Songs - Kenny G
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all those sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
We could have been so good together
We could have make this last forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay, stay, stay, stay
I can't pretend no more
Know you're not a fool to cheat a friend
The way I danced with
I'm never gonna dance
I'm never gonna dance again
I'm never gonna dance again
