too hurt to dance

Duffy

I was stood there, in the shadows
Of a place we used to go
Drinking cocktail after cocktail,
Wandering if you'd show...

My head started spinning,
My mouth was feeling dry
Lost inside the music, I
Was trying not to cry...

If they call it heartache,
If they call it heartache
Why is the rest of my body aching?
Why is the rest of my body shaking?

Please, Mr. DJ
Won't you turn the music down?
Why can't you understand?
I'm to hurt to dance
Tonight...

I was sat there, looking silent,
He said I stood out from the crowd
He offered me a friendly face
To wipe away my frown...

But I won't talk to strangers,
Their words are all the same
So I drown inside this drinking glass
To take away the pain.

If they call it heartache,
If they call it heartache,
Why is the rest of my body aching?
Why is the rest of my body shaking?

Please, Mr. DJ
Won't you turn the music down?
Why can't you understand?
I'm to hurt to dance
Tonight...(2x)
