I Won't Dance

I Won't Dance - Oscar Peterson (奧斯卡·彼得森)

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, Madame, with you

My heart won't let my feet do

Things that they should do

You know what?,

You're lovely

You know what?, you're so lovely

And, oh, what you do to me

I'm like an ocean wave

That's bumped on the shore

I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance,

You're charming and you're gentle

Specially when you do the Continental

But this feeling isn't purely mental

For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

And that's why

I won't dance, why should I?

I won't dance, how could I?

I won't dance, merci beaucoup

I know that music leads the way to romance,

So if I hold you in arms I won't dance

I won't dance

You're charming and you're gentle

Specially when you do the Continental

But this feeling isn't purely mental

For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

And that's why

I won't dance, why should i

I won't dance

How could i, I won't dance merci beaucoup

I know that music leads the way to romance

So if I hold you in arms
