- I Don't Wanna Dance Lyrics / with translationsI don't wanna dance no more
Not since you walked out the door
Left without a second glance
That's the end of my romance
No more fancy footwork in the nightclub
I'm a still point in a turning world
I don't wanna dance tonight
I can hardly stand the sight
Of lovers moving on the floor
There's a memory I can't ignore
Of listening to the D.J. play the record
Take your partner and move around
And I'm dancing in my baby's arms again
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Every night it's always there
The memory of our sad affair
I'm underneath the coloured lights
You're asking me am I alright
I can only answer "I'm the dancer"
Whose sense of rhythm is paralyzed
Til I'm dancing in my baby's arms again
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my sweetheart
I don't wanna dance...not tonight
(repeat to fade)
Not since you walked out the door
Left without a second glance
That's the end of my romance
No more fancy footwork in the nightclub
I'm a still point in a turning world
I don't wanna dance tonight
I can hardly stand the sight
Of lovers moving on the floor
There's a memory I can't ignore
Of listening to the D.J. play the record
Take your partner and move around
And I'm dancing in my baby's arms again
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Every night it's always there
The memory of our sad affair
I'm underneath the coloured lights
You're asking me am I alright
I can only answer "I'm the dancer"
Whose sense of rhythm is paralyzed
Til I'm dancing in my baby's arms again
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my sweetheart
I don't wanna dance...not tonight
(repeat to fade)
