Tony Bennett
I Won’t Dance (Live from Jazz At Lincoln Center)
[Verse: Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga]
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me (C'mon)
I won't dance, madam, with you
My heart won't let my feet do things they should do
Know what? You're lovely
And so what? I'm lovely
But, oh, what'd you do to me?
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
[Pre-Chorus: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga & Both]
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when we do The Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental (No)
But, oh, heaven rest us
We're not asbestos
[Chorus: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga & Both]
And that's why I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, I won't dance, merci beaucoup
We know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
(I won't do it, Tony, I won't dance)
(Haha)
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett]
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when we do The Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental (I'd hope not)
For heaven rest us
I'm not asbestos
[Chorus: Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga]
And that's why I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
We know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in my arms
I won't dance, I won't dance
I won't dance, I won't dance
I won't dance, dance, dance
I won't dance, dance
