Cheating and Dancing

I know that sounds like a juicy story is about to follow, but I just wanted an exciting title for this week's song lyrics.
I was actually writing about my weekend for my next post, when my mother happen to put on a new CD she had just bought. I've always liked George Michael but tended to favor his new dance stuff rather than his older softer hits from the 80's.
I was writing and singing along to the songs when suddenly one came on that I had never known was George Michael. "Never Gonna Dance Again" was a song I remembered from my childhood. I loved the song, and I still remembered all the words. But back then I could never understand what the song was really about.
Now as I listened and immediately searched for the lyrics in order to complete this post, I began to think how funny it was that maybe at most twenty years has past and now I could totally relate to that song.

Never Gonna Dance Again
By George Michael

ooohh
I feel so unsure,
As I take your hand
and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies...
Something in your eyes,
Calls to mind a silver screen,
And all those sad goodbyes.

I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have no better than to cheat a friend,
And waste the chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.
ooohh

Time can never mend,
The careless whispers
of a good friend.
To the heart and mind,
If your answer's kind...
There's no comfort in the truth,
Pain is all you'll find.

I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have no better than to cheat a friend,
And waste the chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.

Never without your love...

Tonight the music seems so loud,
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way,
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together,
We could have made this dance forever...
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay...

I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have no better than to cheat a friend,
And waste the chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.
oooh

Now-now that you're gone
Now that you're gone...
Now that you're gone...
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
