I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything. Verse 2: -------- Blue jeans sitting on the beach, her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach. She's got a body under that shirt, but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt. 'Cause, I can't dance, I can't talk. The only thing about me is the way I walk. No, I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling.

Verse 3: -------- Young punk spilling beer on my shoes, fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues. Thick smoke, see her smiling through. I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool. But I can't dance, I can't talk. The only thing about me is the way I walk. I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling Bridge 2: --------- e:--------------------------------------| B:--------------------------------------| G:--------------------------------------| D:-----0------------3---------------2---| A:-----1------------3---------------3---| E:-----1------------1---------------3---| (synth bit) e:-----------------------------------------1----------| B:--------------------------------------------1-------| G:--------------------------------------2--------2----| D:-0---------------13----------3------3---------------| A:-1---------------13----------3----------------------| E:-1---------------11----------1----------------------| And checking everything is in place You never know who's looking on A perfect body with a perfect face, uhan.
