lyrics

Do you ever have the feeling
You're dancing to the wrong beat
Everybody's looking
(They're) focused on your left feet.
Best to keep your head down
Try not to force the issue
& Slip out of the dance club
Maybe no one would miss you.

Safer watching from the sidelines
Not stepping on anyone's toes
And you're losing confidence with every verse
And now you scared away all of the girls.

Who wants to dance with the man who's dancing to the wrong beat?

Are you locked in to the kick drum?
Or listening to the lyrics?
Can't keep up with all the dance trends
Can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Now you're searching for a soulmate
Who shares the same affliction.
Who hears the same beat you do
But doesn't really listen

Best intentions, poor execution.
Same moves no matter the tempo or style
& Everyone wants to drive a nail into your skull
Cuz you keep clapping on the one and three.

Who wants to dance with the man who's dancing to the wrong beat?

I considered taking lessons
But I'm not sure if that would help
And with a lack of skill and an unbreakable will and the record selection and the mirror's reflection
I'll be dancing with myself.

Who wants to dance with the man who's dancing to the wrong beat?
