Ben Folds:
I feel so unsure, as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen and all its sad good-byes
Rufus Wainwright:
I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have not no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool
Ben & Rufus:
Should've known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you
Ben:
Time can never heal careless whispers of a good friend
Rufus:
Through the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you will find
Ben & Rufus:
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
We should've known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you
Ben:
Tonight the music seems so loud
Rufus:
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Ben:
Baby, it's better this way, we hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
Rufus:
We could have been so good together
Ben:
We could have made this last forever
Ben & Rufus:
But now who's gonna dance with me?
I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have not no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool
We should've known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you |
