[Verse 1] Oh, I know that she has made a fool of him Like girls have done so many nights before Time and time again life is so strange I don't know why but somebody, somebody has to cry There's going to be no dancing when they get home [Chorus] There's going to be no dancing, there's going to be no dancing There's going to be no dancing when they get home [Verse 2] Now he's telling her every little thing he's done Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks Now he's read every one, he's such a drag He's not insane, it's just that everybody has to feel his pain There's going to be no dancing when they get home [Bridge] He's getting down on his knees He finds that the girl is not so easy to please Oh, oh, after all, his nights were just a paper striptease She's caught it like some disease [Chorus] If he says, no dancing, there's going to be no dancing There's going to be no dancing on my own [Verse 3] She can't even speak to him, he can't face her now He says "Even though I want to shake your hand All I ever do is bow, so now you see how can it be Why can't you give me anything but sympathy?" [Outro] There's going to be no dancing, there's going to be no dancing[x2] There's going to be no dancing on my own
