[Verse 1]
Please, don t ask me to dance, please, don t ask me to dance,
The skin re - members what the heart for - gets,
I might do something that I will re - gret!
[Verse 2]
How can you smile at me now? After all the ugly words we used,
Don t you re - member anything we said?
Tonight I m younger, and it s going to my head!
No, I don t want a second chance, please, don t ask me to dance!
[Break]

[Bridge]
The skin remembers what the heart for - gets,
And I might... do something... that I will re - gret!
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
[Verse 3]
Why don t you leave me a - lone? Why don t you bother someone else?
What do I care, if you ve got no one to hold?
What does it matter if the night is getting old?
Oh, God, if I feel your hand, please, don t ask me to dance!
[Break]
