Brinsley Schwarz - Dancing for Money lyrics

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 ooo oooo When I ask you for a buck You don't call me dear 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 Oooh not dancing for money (4 times)
