Never Dance Again
Sunset Neon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say "I love you" while you're with somebody else
I should have known that you were only in it for yourself
I hate to tell ya but he isn't with you for your brain, no, no
I bet you probably even have to have this song explained
[I saw you hold his hand and walk across the street one day
You and your lover never made it out of the way

So I guess you'll never dance again, whoa-oh
Guess you'll never dance again, whoa-oh
I guess you'll never dance again

I kinda thought you'd be a little quicker on your feet
Being graceful doesn't help you, baby, when you cheat, no, no, no
You ate the pavement after all the little games you played
And met the bumper of the driver that you betrayed

So I guess you'll never dance again, whoa-oh
Guess you'll never dance again, whoa-oh
I guess you'll never dance again (never-never, never-never), whoa-oh (never-never, never-never)




Guess you'll never dance again (never-never, never-never), whoa-oh (never-never)
I guess you'll never dance again
