- I Can't Dance LyricsHot sun, beating down,
burning my feet just walking around....
Hot sun, making me sweat,
gators getting close, hasn't got me yet?
I can't dance, I can't talk,
the only thing about me is the way I walk......
I can't dance, I can't sing,
I'm just standing here selling everything...
Blue jeans sitting on the beach,
her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach...
She's got a body under that shirt,
but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt...
...and cheeking everything is in place,
you never know who's looking on...
young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues..
thick smoke, see her smiling through.
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool...
... a perfect body with a perfect face...
burning my feet just walking around....
Hot sun, making me sweat,
gators getting close, hasn't got me yet?
I can't dance, I can't talk,
the only thing about me is the way I walk......
I can't dance, I can't sing,
I'm just standing here selling everything...
Blue jeans sitting on the beach,
her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach...
She's got a body under that shirt,
...and cheeking everything is in place,
you never know who's looking on...
young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues..
thick smoke, see her smiling through.
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool...
... a perfect body with a perfect face...

When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, the Genesis song 'I Can't Dance' reveals a mix of self-awareness and insecurity, with the main character thinking of himself as worthless in all the dancing, talking, and singing domains. The words are about different people's meeting, and are by low self-estimation and the feeling of not being a part of the group. The figurative references to dancing and singing express the inner struggle with one’s self and the desire to be accepted, while 'selling everything' might be seen as pretending or forcing oneself to be like everyone else when one is really a misfit. The I can't dance lyrics primarily stress joy, adventure, party, love and empowerment. At the same time, the song highlights the issues of having and accepting one's identity and limitations, the power and the longing for social interaction and attraction that is not there. The lyrics touch on some mild themes and use suggestive language, like references to physical appearance and social situations, which might not be appropriate for very young kids. Nevertheless, there is nothing very explicit or of very strong language character that would justify a higher age restriction.
