Graham Parker - DANCING FOR MONEY Lyrics

/pre>

A f#m

When I ask you for a light you dont turn the lights out

A f#m

When Im looking for a fight you dont punch my lights out

E ad

Sometimes they say love is invincible

E a d

I wouldnt go as far as to say that

E ad

One thing I know one thing is certain honey

E d

Were not dancing for moneyooo oooo



When I ask you for a buck you dont call me deer

When I try to push my luck you dont twist my ear

Sometimes when im blind drunk I see it all

But I cant 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 lifes pain Im not exempt Im just lucky I can go

Some other place where theres a sun up high

Right in my face for once in a lifetime

Im not a slave, Im not a captain honey

Im not dancing for money



E a d

Im not a slave, Im not a captive

E a d

Im not in chains or nailed to a cross

E ad

One things for sure one thing is certain honey

E d e d

Im not dancing for money Im not dancing for money

A d

Oooh not dancing for money (4 times) /pre>
