A Gentleman's Excuse Me (live)

歌詞

[Instrumental 25 secs] Do you still keep paper flowers In the bottom drawer with your Belgian lace Taking them out every year To watch the colours fade away Do you still believe in fairy tales In battlements of shining castles Safe from the dragons That lie beneath the hill Are you still a Russian princess Rescued by a Gypsy dancer To anyone who'll listen Is that a story you still tell You live a life of fantasy Your diary romantic fiction Can't you see it's hard for me Can you see what I'm trying to say It's a gentleman's excuse me So I'll take one step to the side Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing [Instrumental 21 secs] I know you still like old-fashioned waltzes Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with As you glide across the floor But if I told you the music's over Would you want to hear That your dance card is empty That there's no one really there Do you still believe in Santa Claus There's a millionaire looking for your front door With a key to a life That you'd never understand And all I have to offer Is the love I have it's freely given You'll see its value When you see what I tried to say It's a gentleman's excuse me So I'll do one step to the side Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back Can you get it inside your head That from this one step forward There's no turning back Can you get in inside your head I'm tired of dancing We're finished dancing
