Graham Parker Dancing For Money Lyrics

Dancing For Money Lyrics

/pre>
A		   f#m
When I ask you for a light you don’t turn the lights out
A			 f#m
When I’m looking for a fight you don’t punch my lights out
E		 a  d
Sometimes they say love is invincible
E	    a   d
I wouldn’t go as far as to say that
E		a  d
One thing I know one thing is certain honey
E			  d
We’re not dancing for money  ooo oooo

When I ask you for a buck you don’t call me deer
When I try to push my luck you don’t twist my ear
Sometimes when i’m	blind drunk I see it all
But I can’t do anything about it
I fall on my face and jerk like a puppet honey
Just like dancing for money (then) instrumental verse

Familiarity breeds contempt so I turn off the radio
From life’s pain I’m not exempt I’m just lucky I can go
Some other place where there’s a sun up high
Right in my face for once in a lifetime
I’m not a slave, I’m not a captain honey
I’m not dancing for money

E 	 a	d
I’m not a slave, I’m not a captive
E	  a	   d
I’m not in chains or nailed to a cross
E		 a  d
One thing’s for sure	one thing is certain honey
E			 d   e		   d
I’m not dancing for money I’m not dancing for money
A 		   d
Oooh not dancing for money (4 times) /pre>
