They say a girl can get her guy
with moves so smooth
and a body to match
In a skin-tight dress
on the dance floor
is where she'll find a perfect catch

They say that anyone can dance
it's just a matter of
moving your body the beat
But I saw a girl on the floor tonight
with more than two left feet
and I said

That girl can't dance
she's just embarrassing herself
Look at her friends,
they're slowly edging away, because
That girl can't dance
and I think someone should tell her
but I won't tell her

I'm going into town tonight
Just want to hit some bars
and have a good time
And if I find the motivation
I might leave my fear of
dancing behind

And if I see that girl again
well maybe I'll think twice
Because if I remember rightly
she seemed like she'd be quite nice to talk to
but maybe we'll just stay away from the dancefloor tonight
Cos I've got these friends with me, they're a bit judgemental
and I don't want to hurt your feelings

That girl can't dance
she's just embarrassing herself
Look at her friends,
they're slowly edging away, because
That girl can't dance
and I think someone should tell her
Well, maybe I should tell her

So I edged up to her, all quiet,
when she was standing at the bar
and I said,
"Hey, didn't I see you here the other week?"
and she said,
"Oh yeah, I remember you,
you're the one they were talking about."
"Yeah? What were they talking about?"
And she said

'That boy can't dance
he's just embarrassing himself
What, does he think
that thing he's doing with his hands looks cool?
That boy can't dance
maybe someone should tell the fool,'
so I guess I just told you..."

Well.

That girl can't dance
but fuck it, neither can I
But I really like this tune
so I'm gonna do my best
That girl can't dance
but it don't stop her from dancing
and it won't stop me from dancing

Will it stop you from dancing?
No don't stop,
No don't stop dancing
