Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

You know what? You're lovely
You know what? You are so lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you danced, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

And that's why
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance (I won't dance), merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when you do that Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us (heaven rest us), I am not asbestos (I'm not asbestos)

And that's why (and that's why)
(Dance with me) I won't dance
(I want my arms around you) I won't dance
(Oh Willie, dance with me?) I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I (you) hold you in arms I won't dance
You might dance

You might dance
I'll ask you
You might dance
Oh, Willie 
You might dance
Oh, Willie 
You might dance
Dance with me
