Wake up in the morning with a head like ‘what ya done?’
This used to be the life but I don’t need another one
Good luck cuttin’ nothin’, carrying on, you wear them gowns
So how come I feel so lonely when you’re up getting down?

So I play along when I hear that favourite song
I’m gonna be the one who gets it right
You better know when you’re swingin’ round the room
Look’s like magic’s solely yours tonight

But I don’t feel like dancin’
When the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance
But my two feet can’t find a way
You think that I could muster up a little soft, shoop devil sway
But I don’t feel like dancin’
No sir, no dancin’ today

Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Even if i find nothin' better to do
Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Why’d you break down when I’m not in the mood?
Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Rather be home with no one when I can't get down with you

Cities come and cities go just like the old empires
When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile
You got so many colours make a blind man so confused
Then why can’t I keep up when you’re the only thing I lose?

So I’ll just pretend that I know which way to bend
And I’m gonna tell the whole world that you’re mine
Just please understand, when I see you clap your hands
If you stick around I’m sure that you’ll be fine

But I don’t feel like dancin’
When the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance
But my two feet can’t find a way
You think that I could muster up a little soft, shoop devil sway
But I don’t feel like dancin’
No sir, no dancin’ today

Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Even if i find nothin' better to do
Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Why’d you break down when I’m not in the mood?
Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Rather be home with no one when I can't get down with you

You can’t make me dance around
But your two-step makes my chest pound
Just lay me down as you blow it away into the shimmer light

But I don’t feel like dancin’
When the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance
But my two feet can’t find a way
You think that I could muster up a little soft, shoop devil sway
But I don’t feel like dancin’
No sir, no dancin’ today

Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Even if i find nothin' better to do
Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Why’d you break down when I’m not in the mood?
Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Rather be home with no one when I can't get down with you

Scissor Sisters

Scissor Sisters are an American pop group formed in 2001. Forged in the “gay nightlife scene of New York,” the band took its name from the female same-sex sexual activity tribadism. Its members include Jake Shears and Ana Matronic as vocalists, Babydaddy as a multi-instrumentalist, Del Marquis as the lead guitarist/bassist, and Randy Real as the drummer. Scissor Sisters incorporate diverse and innovative styles in their music, but tend to sway towards pop rock, glam rock, nu-disco, and electroclash.

Scissor Sisters have performed around the world and become well-recognized for their controversial and transgressive live performances. They’ve collaborated with a number of other well-known pop musicians, including Elton John and Kylie Minogue. In 2004, U2’s lead vocalist Bono described Scissor Sisters as “the best pop group in the world”.
