Pet Shop Boys

Lyrics

[Intro]
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna

[Chorus]
I don't wanna go out
I don't wanna go dancing
I don't wanna go out
I don't wanna go dancing

[Verse 1]
Lonely boy
He has his head in the clouds
Sits at home
With no one around
Feels so shy
He'd rather sit alone and cry
That no one understands this guy

[Chorus]
I don't wanna go out
I don't wanna go dancing
I don't wanna go out
I don't wanna go dancing
[Verse 2]
Friday night
You'd hope the phone might just ring
But when it does
He says he's not in
What's the deal?
The guy's so shy he doesn't feel
That he has any sex appeal

[Chorus]
I don't wanna go out (I don't wanna go out)
I don't wanna go dancing (I don't wanna go dancing)
I don't wanna go out (I don't wanna go out)
I don't wanna go dancing (I don't wanna go dancing)
I don't wanna go out (I don't wanna go out)
I don't wanna go dancing (I don't wanna go dancing)
I don't wanna go out (I don't wanna go out)
I don't wanna go dancing (I don't wanna go dancing)

[Refrain]
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna

[Bridge]
In a song, he hears that rhythm's a dancer
And it won't take no for an answer
Suddenly, he thinks he might reluctantly
Go looking for some company
He summons up the the energy
[Chorus]
I don't wanna go out
I don't wanna go dancing
I don't wanna go out
I don't wanna go dancing

[Outro]
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wannaEmbed
