Lyrics of I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by Arctic Monkeys
verse
Stop makin′ the eyes at me
I'll stop makin′ my eyes at you
What it is that surprises me is
That I don't really want you to
pre-chorus
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you′re dynamite)
Your name isn′t Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lightin′ the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go
chorus
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you′re lookin' for romance or
I don′t know what you're lookin' for
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancin′ to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984"
verse
I wish you′d stop ignoring me
Because it's sendin′ me to despair
Without a sound, yeah, you're callin′ me
And I don't think it′s very fair
pre-chorus
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn′t Rio, but I don′t care for sand
And lightin' the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go
chorus
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don′t know if you're lookin′ for romance or
I don't know what you′re lookin' for
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancin' to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984"
bridge
Oh, there ain′t no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Just bangin′ tunes and DJ sets and
Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtiness
outro
Well, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you′re lookin' for romance or
I don′t know what you're lookin′ for
I said, "I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancin' to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Said, from 1984"
