I'm dancing like a mad man
I hope she looks at me
I tend to be just on my own
Oh what a silly me
The club is full of people
Perhaps they think I'm mad
I close my eyes and I go home
I feel a little sad
I just can't dance
My only chance
I'm shy, I'm shy
Oh so shy

There's something in the way I move
I made it, then lost it
Do I look like in the groove
Or do I look like toasted
If I just knew she loved me
I know I wouldn't care
But she talks to the barman
And I think that's unfair
I just can't dance
My only chance
I'm sad, I'm sad
Oh so sad
And now that girl moves close to me
I join into her move
Pretending I enjoy it
And now I've lost the groove
One guy steps over between us
Shows up with all his power
And I feel like a idiot
Who stands in a cold shower

I just can't dance
My only chance

The barman stares ahead
A solo drink
He turns around
Offers a wink
I move away
But play it cool
I think she's right
I'm just a fool
I just can't dance
My only chance
I'm shy, I'm shy
Oh so shy
