Jonathan Richman
They’re Not Tryin’ on the Dance Floor
[Verse 1]
Oh, they're not tryin’ on the dance floor, no
They're just movin' slow
They’re not tryin' much there on the floor
And they're movin' me more
They're just hangin' around the bar
And they're your dancin' stars
They’re not tryin’ on the dance floor, no
They're just movin’ slow

[Verse 2]
Doin' no one thing that I could mention
They're not tryin' to get your attention
And they’re not showin you all they got
They don't care if you're there or not
Like Sheboygan or Eau Claire
They're just there
They're not tryin' on the dance floor, no
They're just movin' slow

[Bridge]
I'm sure they're not showin' you all they got
They don't care if you're there or not

[Verse 3]
Oh, they're not movin' very much
They just have that certain touch
And that's really all there is to it
If they don't feel it they won't do it
Like Centralia or Duluth
Well, they're tellin' ya the truth
They're not tryin' on the dance floor, no
They're just movin' slow
They're not tryin much there on the floor
And they're movin' me more
