No one in this party's having any fun tonight
And I'd do anything just to make it alright
No, it isn't always quite so boring in this town
I've played all my favorite records but nobody's getting down
'Cause you can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party but
For you I'll try
All the way from Brooklyn
Sally came to see me
I'll throw you a party
I gave my guarantee
But Michael's far too drunk
He's watching Youtube videos
And I'll be in the corner
Reading poetry and prose
'Cause you can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party but
For you I'll try
For you I'll try so hard
To make you see
It ain't so bad
In Mississippi
"How could you leave New York for this?," she said
Well honey we don't have to dance
Let's kiss instead
'Cause you can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party but
For you I'll try
You can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party
You can't force a dance party but
For you I'll
For you I'll
For you I'll
Try
