I Won't Dance

with apologies to Frank and Fred

How could I dance
With you, Fred Astaire?
How could you let go
And pretend that I did
Pretend it's my fault?
How could I dance
With you, Fred Astaire?
How could you tell me
"Maybe I should go"
And pretend I went?
How could I dance
With you, Fred Astaire?
How could I miss you
After all the missteps
I tried to dance
But how could I dance
With you, Fred Astaire?
