Who Ever Told You lyrics

Who ever told you that you know how to dance?

You move on the floor but you haven't got no chance.

Your hands are in your pockets

and you're wearing a seethru mask.

You don't wanna follow

but you don't know how to lead.

You bought all the books

but you didn't take the time to read.

The floor is slipp'ry

but you never paid no heed

Who ever told you, ever told you

that you know how to dance?

Who ever told 'you, ever told you

that you know how to dance?

(Who ever told you?)

(Who ever told you?)

You never learned how to listen to the band.

So how can you say that you really understand?

You know there's a problem but you just shake your head.

You step on people's toes

and now you wonder why you're dancing all alone.

You move too fast and you come on way too strong.

You don't wanna know if your steps are right or wrong.

We've all been watchin' your dancin' far too long.

You don't wanna hear what the people have to say.

You just keep on movin' and you think they'll go away.

But after the dancin' the piper-money must be paid.

Who ever told you, ever told you

that you know how to dance?

Who ever told 'you, ever told you

that you know how to dance?

(Who ever told you?)

(Who ever told you?)

(Who ever told you?)

(Who ever told you?)
