When I ask you for a light
You don't turn the lights out
When I'm looking for a fight
You don't punch my lights out
Sometimes they say, Love
is
invincible
I wouldn't go as far as to say that
One thing I know one thing is certain, honey
We're not dancing for money, oh, oh
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
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
I'm not a slave, I'm not a captive
I'm not in chains or nailed to a cross
One thing's for sure, one thing is certain, honey
I'm not dancing for money, I'm not dancing for money
Ooh, not dancing for money
Ooh, not dancing for money
Ooh, not dancing for money
Ooh, not dancing for money
