던진 시선 끝에 마주친 두 눈
숨결마저 베일 듯한 mood
날 비껴가듯 스친 짧은 틈
But I ain't gon' dance for ya
좀 날이 선 공기, 숨 막힐 듯한 밤
날 향한 네 눈빛 아득해지는 sight
But let me make it clear babe
I ain't gon' dance for ya lovin'
But let me break it down for ya, honey (uh)
'Cause everything you want yeah, I got it
So I ain't gon' dance for ya lovin' now
희미해질 듯 어두워진 light
너의 감정이 다 보이는 듯해
작은 소음마저 예민해져 가
네게 다가설 듯 느려지는 step no
니 마음을 굳이 꺼내 보이진 마
말 안 해도 이미 느끼고 있어 난
넌 천천히 내게 다가오겠지만
But let me make it clear babe
I ain't gon' dance for ya lovin'
But let me break it down for ya, honey (uh)
'Cause everything you want yeah, I got it
So I ain't gon' dance for ya lovin' now
넘칠 듯한 이 감정이
다 쏟아질 것 같은 예감이 oh
너도 같단 걸 알아
But I won't dance for your love
I ain't gon' dance for ya lovin' (oh, baby, baby, baby)
But let me break it down for ya, honey (oh-yeah, oh-yeah)
'Cause everything you want yeah, I got it (I got it)
So I ain't gon' dance for ya lovin' now
The lyrics of Key's song "Ain't Gonna Dance" convey a sense of defiance and independence in a romantic relationship. The singer asserts that they are not going to conform to the expectations and desires of their partner. The opening lines suggest that the singer appears disinterested and unaffected by their partner's gaze or attention. The phrase "But I ain't gon' dance for ya" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's refusal to perform or fulfill their partner's wishes.
The second verse introduces a contrast between the singer's perspective and their partner's growing interest. The singer acknowledges that their partner is getting closer to them, but they want to make it clear that they will not dance for their love. The lyrics hint at a fading light and becoming more sensitive to small noises, perhaps reflecting the singer's growing awareness of their partner's emotions and intentions. However, the singer remains steadfast in their refusal to play the expected role.
The chorus reinforces the message that the singer will not dance for their partner's love. They assert that they have everything the partner wants, but it will not change their decision. The lyrics suggest a growing intensity of emotions and a premonition that the feelings might overflow, but the singer maintains their stance. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's determination not to dance for their partner's love.
