Why Go Dancing?

from The House On The Dancefloor by L. Mounts

/

lyrics

Why go dancing
When you can sit and write songs about not going dancing?
Why go steady when you can go stag?
Why see movies
When you can sit and write songs about not seeing movies?
Why be happy when you can be sad?

Why spend time with a lover
When you can spend time by yourself?
Why only rely on each other
When you can rely on somebody else?

Why buy her flowers
When everyone else is buying her flowers?
Why try to keep her when she will stray?
Why buy her chocolates
When everyone else is buying her chocolates?
Why be committed when she won't stay?

Why spend money and time
On someone who'll only dismember your mind?
Why go messing around
With girls and clichés that'll just you bring you down?

Why go dancing?

Why play her music
When she doesn't care about any of your music?
Why write her poems that she won't read?
Why draw her pictures
When she doesn't care about any of your pictures?
Why give her things that she doesn't need?

Why go dancing?
