Refuse to Dance Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got your invitation to the dance
Wear your party dress
Maybe I was just an innocent
But I confess
I never even knew the song
The orchestra was playing
See the cuties in their party clothes
Oh it's getting warm
Off the shoulder cut into the hip
Like a uniform
Did you think I'd want to toe the line?
Well, now the line is broken

[Chorus]
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance

[Verse 2]
You said you're such a pretty thing
You could make a mark
I'll teach you all the steps you'll need
Guide you through the dark
Suddenly I thought I knew the song
The orchestra was playing
[Chorus]
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
I know the refuse
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
You refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance

[Verse 3]
See how they follow
You say jump
They jump
You say turn
They turn

Look back in sorrow
I won't be there
I won't be there

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance
Refuse to dance

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
