Lyrics: Dancing For Money
Album: Human Soul

A f#m
When i ask you for a light you don’t turn the lights out
A f#m
When i’m looking for a fight you don’t punch my lights out
E a d
Sometimes they say love is invincible
E a d
I wouldn’t go as far as to say that
E a d
One thing i know one thing is certain honey
E d
We’re not dancing for money ooo oooo

When i ask you for a buck you don’t call me deer
When i try to push my luck you don’t twist my ear
Sometimes when i’m blind drunk i see it all
But i can’t 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 life’s pain i’m not exempt i’m just lucky i can go
Some other place where there’s a sun up high
Right in my face for once in a lifetime
I’m not a slave, i’m not a captain honey
I’m not dancing for money

E a d
I’m not a slave, i’m not a captive
E a d
I’m not in chains or nailed to a cross
E a d
One thing’s for sure one thing is certain honey
E d e d
I’m not dancing for money i’m not dancing for money
A d
Oooh not dancing for money (4 times) /pre>
