Lyrics for I Can't Dance

Hot sun beating down Burning my feet just walking around Hot sun making me sweat 'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet I can't dance, I can't talk Only thing about me is the way I walk I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything Blue jeans sit on the beach Her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach Ooh, she's got a body under that shirt But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt 'Cause I can't dance, I can't talk Only thing about me is the way I walk I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling Oh, and checking everything is in place You never know who's lookin' on Young punk spilling beer on my shoes Fat guy's talking to me, trying to steal my blues Thick smoke, see her smiling through I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool But I can't dance, I can't talk The only thing about me is the way that I walk I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling Oh, and checking everything is in place You never know who's lookin' on A perfect body with a perfect face, mmhm No, I can't dance, I can't talk The only thing about me is the way I walk No, I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything But I can walk No, I can't dance No, no, no, I can't dance No, I said I can't sing But I can walk
