sifting through my skills paying electric bills I might have some things to say to you but I’ll put them in a box file away my thoughts now that you’ve got better things to do if you’d like to dance go dance you can be satisfied you’ve got free time you've got all this free time you've got free time writing down my dreams learning what they mean words come out that I find hard to hear must have been the truth cuz I deny and accuse part of you keeps ringing in my ear if you’d like to dance go dance it’s been justified you’ve got free time you’ve got all this free time you’ve got free time riding on my bike alone through a summer night you deserve more than I gave to you If you’d like to dance go dance you should be satisfied you’ve got free time you've got all this free time you've got free time (go dance)
