The second of Darren Criss' character driven singles, “i can’t dance” is “sung from the perspective of two contrasting caricatures from high fashion society” and is “inspired by the finest of grooves popularized in the late 70s and early 80s”, according to Criss' social media posts.
[Intro]
I can't dance
I can't dance anymore
[Verse 1]
Another night in Paris
On someone else's tab
You never had it oh so bad
The sun comes up too early
The service comes too late
You never had to sit and wait
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear my fine couture design
I'm on display, New York, LA
I want the show, first class, front row
If you put me in the back, then I would rather die than go
[Chorus]
I can't dance
I can't dance anymore
I can't dance (Dance)
I can't dance anymore
Dance anymore, no
[Verse 2]
You started out in London
Or was it Belarus?
I know you gеt the two confused
They flеw you out to Florence
They didn't send a car
Do they even know who you are?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear my fine couture design
If not for sale, I'm unavail'
Ç'est bon, ç'est chic, they kiss my cheek
But as for me, aw, mettre les points sur les i
[Chorus]
I can't dance
I can't dance anymore
I can't dance (Dance, dance)
I can't dance anymore
Dance anymore, no
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear my fine couture design
If not for sale, I'm unavail'
Ç'est bon (Ç'est bon), ç'est chic (Ç'est chic)
They kiss my cheek
[Chorus]
I can't dance (Woo)
I can't dance anymore (Dance anymore)
I can't dance (I can't dance, no)
I can't dance
[Outro]
I wear (I wear), my fine (My fine)
Couture (Couture) design (Design) (I can't dance anymore)
If not (If not) for sale (For sale), I'm unavail' (I can't dance)
Ç'est bon, ç'est chic (No)
They kiss my cheek (Oh)
I can't dance
No
