lyrics

I don’t dance anymore
I just stand and nod my head to the groove
I used to get out on the floor
I used to imitate all those MJ moves
And as the time went by
What happened to the boy who didn’t care?
The weight of the world
Got tucked into his shoes and held him there

Oh, you can try to get me up but it’s just not in me
See, I used to loosen up, now I’m too concerned with myself
And what isn’t done
What happened to free?
What happened to fun?
I don’t mean to let you down, ‘cause I know you love me
I can see you dig the sound, go on
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down

I don’t dance anymore
I sit in listen to the music clinically
Keeping one eye on the door
Just in case I need to take an early leave
But as the time flies by
I hope to meet that carefree child again
And together with you
Beneath our feet we’ll make the whole world spin

But for now you can try to get me up but it’s just not in me
See, I used to loosen up, now I’m too concerned with myself
And what isn’t done
What happened to free?
What happened to fun?
I don’t mean to let you down, ‘cause I know you love me
I can see you dig the sound, go on
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down

Oh, you can try to get me up, it’s just not in me
See, I used to loosen up, now I’m too concerned with myself
And what isn’t done
What happened to free?
What happened to carefree fun?
I don’t mean to let you down, know you love me
I can see you dig the sound, go on
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
You can try to get me up
