When I ask you for a light
You don't turn the lights out
When I'm looking for a fight
You don't punch my lights out
Sometimes they say love is invincible
I wouldn't go as far as to say that
One thing I know, one thing is certain honey
We're not dancing for money ooo oooo

When I ask you for a buck
You don't call me dear
When I try to push my luck
You don't twist my ear
Sometimes when I'm blind drunk I see it all
But I can't do anything about it
I fall on my face and jerk like a puppet honey
Just like dancing for money

Familiarity breeds contempt
So I turn off the radio
From life's pain I'm not exempt
I'm just lucky I can go
Some other place where there's a sun up high
Right in my face for once in a lifetime
I'm not a slave, I'm not a captain honey
I'm not dancing for money
I'm not a slave, I'm not a captive
I'm not in chains or nailed to a cross
One thing's for sure, one thing is certain honey
I'm not dancing for money
I'm not dancing for money
Oooh not dancing for money (4 times)
