Don't Stop The Dance
Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry) Lyrics

Mama says truth is all that matters
My mother always taught me that being truthful is the most important thing in life

Lyin' n' deceiving is a sin
She believes that being dishonest and misleading others is morally wrong

Drifting through a world that's torn and tattered
I feel like I am aimlessly wandering through a world that is full of chaos and disorder

Every thought I have don't mean a thing
I feel like my thoughts and opinions are insignificant and don't matter

Don't stop, don't stop the dance
Despite feeling lost and insignificant, I am urging myself to keep moving forward and not give up

No more music, don't stop the dance
I need the music and the movement to keep me going and to help me find my way

Mama says love is all that matters
My mother has always emphasized the importance of love and how it should be the driving force in our lives

Beauty should be deeper than the skin
She believes that true beauty comes from within, and is not just about external appearance

Living for the moment lips and lashes
I am focused on enjoying the present moment, and not worrying about the future

Will I ever find my way again
Despite my efforts to keep moving forward, I still feel lost and unsure about where I am headed

Mama says only stormy weather
My mother has warned me that life can be unpredictable and challenging, and I should be prepared for difficult times

Don't know why there's no sun in the sky
Despite not understanding why things are the way they are, I cannot let it hold me back from continuing to move forward

Footsteps in the dark come together
Even though I may not be able to see where I am going, I trust that my footsteps will lead me in the right direction

Got to keep on movin' or I'll die
I know that I must keep pushing forward, or I risk falling apart and losing myself

Don't stop, don't stop the dance
This repeated refrain reinforces my determination to keep moving, dancing, and living my life to the fullest

No more music, don't stop the dance
Without the music and movement, I fear that I will lose my way and lose sight of what truly matters in life
