I Won't Dance, lyric by Frank Sinatra

from the songs album 57 - In Concert

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance madame with you
My heart won't let me feet do things that they should do

You know what, you're lovely you know what, you're so lovely
And you know what you do to me
I?m like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're chairming and you're gentle
Specially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, i'm not asbestos
And that's why i won't dance, why should i?

I won't dance, how could i?
I won't dance, mer?i beacoup

I know that music lead the way to romance
So if i hold you in arms i won't dance

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance madame with you
My heart won't let me feet do things that they want to do

You know what, you're so lovely, ring a ding-ding, you're lovely
And you know what you do to me
I?m like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're chairming and you're gentle
Specially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us, i'm not asbestos
And that's why i won't dance, i won't dance

I won't dance, mer?i beacoup
I know that music lead the way to romance

So if i hold you in arms i won't dance
