I Only Dance When I Want To Lyrics by The Spook School

Could It Be Different?

2018

[Verse 1]
Wasn't going out tonight
Didn't have a stitch to wear
But then Tracy said you'd be there
So I threw on a jumper
Sipping cola sitting on a sofa
I could barely fit in
Then you move into the kitchen
And then I feel the hunger
[Chorus]
I only say what I want you to hear
I only drink your favourite beer
I'm only here 'cause I heard you were here
I only dance when I want to
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I want to
[Verse 2]
Sipping cola, cornered by the toaster
You with a bottle of gin
I like the way you're moving
But why won't you ask me
You say "it's my favourite song"
You said that about every one
And you're reaching for my hands now
But I don't wanna dance now
[Chorus]
I only say what I want you to hear
I only drink your favourite beer
I'm only here 'cause I heard you were here
I only dance when I want to
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I want to
[Bridge]
You think you've got this hold on me
But I'm in control, I'll make you see
Just because you brought me to my knees
Won't get on my feet when you say so
[Verse 3]
Friends are strewn across the floor
You're out cold by the bathroom door
So I throw off my jumper
Jump up on the sofa
Look at me yeah, watch me twist again yeah
Does it remind you of last summer?
And I know that it's winter
But I'll dance if I wanna
[Chorus]
I only say what I want you to hear
I only drink your favourite beer
I'm only here 'cause I heard you were here
I only dance when I want to
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I want to
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I wanna dance
I only dance when I want to
