This Dance Just Won’t Go - lyrics

This dance just won’t go,

It never should have passed the first hello;

Let’s grab the chance to stop it,

No matter what the yearning.

Your mouth is so warm,

Better turn your head and walk away from harm;

Let’s grab the chance to stop it,

No matter what the yearning.

Sultry afternoons are made for lovers with a future,

With time to cross their fingers and hope for things to come,

But what have we to look to but a little time of pleasure,

Then a sad squeeze of my arm and you’re gone…

This dance just won’t go,

It never should have passed the first hello;

Don’t ask me to stop, come let us

Bathe in the glow of our future burning.
