Careless Whisper
Empress Latoyah Lyrics

feel so unsure
I'm hesitant and uncertain about what's to come.

As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
I want to dance with you and take you to the floor.

As the music dies, something in your eyes
As the music ends, I see a sadness in your eyes.

Calls to mind the silver screen
It makes me think of old movies.

And all it's sad goodbyes
Where people say goodbye and it's sad.

I'm never gonna dance again
I won't dance again.

Guilty feet have got no rhythm
I feel guilty about it and can no longer dance properly.

Though it's easy to pretend
I wish I could pretend things are okay but I can't.

I know you're not a fool
I know you're smart and won't be fooled by me.

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
I should not have betrayed you, my friend.

And waste the chance that I've been given
I regret wasting the opportunities that came my way.

Time can never mend
No amount of time can fix this problem.

The careless whispers of a good friend
When a friend carelessly reveals a secret to others.

To the heart and mind
It affects both our emotions and our intellect.

Ignorance is kind
Sometimes it's better not to know the truth.

There's no comfort in the truth
The truth is painful and there is no comfort in it.

Pain is all you'll find
The only thing you'll get from knowing the truth is pain.

Never without your love
I can't go on without your love.

Tonight the music seems so loud
The music is loud and overwhelming tonight.

I wish that we could lose this crowd
I want to be alone with you and not be surrounded by others.

Maybe it's better this way
Perhaps it's better for us to separate and move on.

We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We would only hurt each other if we spoke our minds.

We could have been so good together
We could have had a great relationship.

We could have lived this dance forever
We could have continued this relationship for a long time.

But now who's gonna dance with me
Now I am alone and have no one to dance with.

Please stay
Please don't leave me.

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
Now that you've left me.

(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong, so wrong
What I did was very wrong, and now I regret it.

That you had to leave me alone
I am alone because of my actions, and I wish you hadn't left.
