Last week I found a message in a bottle It said: "Go home, ain't nobody love you no more" I can't disagree So last night I went to the club Had a couple too many, threw up Now everybody's laughing at me 'Cause I'm way too sad Way too sad to dance I'm way too sad to dance 'Cause I got too caught up, my friends agree A broken heart and nobody And that's why I'm too sad to dance And now I just wait by the telephone You ain't coming back and I should've known And that's why I'm too sad to dance And that's why I'm too sad to dance This morning I knocked your door Just to admit my flaws But you said you've heard it all before And this Christmas I got no gifts Do I really deserve all this? So I head straight down to the liquor store 'Cause I'm way too sad Way too sad to dance I'm way too sad to dance 'Cause I got too caught up, my friends agree A broken heart and nobody And that's why I'm too sad to dance And now I just wait by the telephone You ain't coming back and I should've known And that's why I'm too sad to dance And that's why I'm too sad to dance And that's why I'm too sad to dance So I called up my pops last night He said: "By the morning light You won't need no romance" He told me: "Walk that walk alone And talk that talk, you know 'Cause you don't need no one to dance"
