Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I'm never gonna dance again
  • Guilty feet have got no rhythm
  • Though it's easy to pretend
  • I know you're not a fool

Echo the hook

  • The way I danced with you, oh-oh
  • Time can never mend
  • The careless whispers of a good friend
  • To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
danceneveryou're
