You Never Take Me Dancing

The world’s greatest mystery

Love between the woman and the man

Some guys are Romeos

Others simply do the best they can

I’m just your average, ordinary Joe

Tryin’ to learn things I never knew I had to know

What’s a man supposed to do

I don’t get no kick from nine to five

And I’m not a man who thinks it’s true

It’s a woman’s place to keep a love alive

Watched enough daytime TV

To know my baby’s needs

Sometimes I swear that she’s impossible to please

She says

Give me all that I want of your money, baby

But you never take me dancing

Give me all that I want of your money, baby

But you never take me dancing

I really think I do a lot to show

How I feel about her in my way

Roses on our anniversary

Candlelight and me on her birthday

Just when I thought that I had it all worked out

Now she says I still don’t know what it’s all about

She says

Give me all that I want of your money, baby

But you never take me dancing

You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby

But you never take me dancing

I’m just your average, ordinary joe

Tryin’ to learn things I never knew I had to know

Give me all that I want of your money, baby

But you never take me dancing

You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby

But you never take me dancing

Talk to me girl

She says

Give me all that I want of your money, baby

But you never take me dancing

You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby

But you never take me dancing

Take me dancing
