Rivers Cuomo
Can’t Dance, Don’t Ask Me
[Verse 1]
So-and-so's in Tahoe with a hottie by the fire
Such-and-such in Cabo salsa dancing on a wire
I'm just spitting, gritting teeth and being crucified
Tryna to tell myself that pins and needles is a vibe

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey doctor, doctor
Give it to me
I got a bad case of not loving me

[Chorus]
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance, don't ask me
I, I always wish I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance, don't ask me

[Verse 2]
I don't got the huevos to approach the door and knock
No one cares but I still feel like I'm a laughingstock
I keep running round and round this same old city block
While everybody else inside is waiting for the drop

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey doctor, doctor
Give it to me
I got a bad case of not loving me
[Chorus]
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance, don't ask me
I, I always wish I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance, don't ask me
I don't know where my heart at
Don't know where my head at
Don't know where my feet at
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance, don't ask me

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Hey (hey) it's getting kinda cold out here I'm all alone (Knock, knock)
Don't let me come inside your place (Hey)
It's getting kinda cold out here I'm all alone (Knock, knock)
I don't wanna go inside your place
Give it to me
I got a bad, bad case of not loving me

[Chorus]
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance, don't ask me
I, I always wish I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance, don't ask me
I don't know where my heart at
Don't know where my head at
Don't know where my feet at
I'm wishing that I was doing what somebody else is doing
But I can't dance, don't ask me
[Outro]
I can't dance
