作词 : Costello
Oh I know that she
Has mad a fool of him

Like girls have done so many nights before

Time and time again.

Life is so strange.

I dont know why

But somebody
Somebody has to cry.
Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home.

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing
Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home.

Now hes telling her

Every little thing hes done

Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks.
Now hes read every one.

Hes such a drag.
Hes not insane.

Its just that everybody
Has to feel his pain.
Theres gonna be no dancing when they get home.

Hes getting down on his knees.
He finds that her brothers not so easy to please

After all his nights were just a paper striptease.

Shes caught it like some disease.

If he says no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing on my own.

She cant even speak to him.

He cant face her now.

He says even though I wanna shake your hand
All I ever do is bow.

So know you see

How can it be?

Why cant you give me anythin but sympathy?

Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing
Theres gonna be no dancing

Theres gonna be no dancing
Theres gonna be no dancing on my own.
