about

I'd like to have a big bang behind me when I sing this.

lyrics

Burn up baby!
We're never gonna dance like we wanted to dance
We're never gonna own that holiday home in France
We're never gonna swing like Sinatra can
We're never gonna dance
Burn-up!
But here's the thing!
We'll never, never be cool enough to hold that hand of cards
We'll never be hip enough to drive them cars
We'll never, never know what secrets chicer people keep
And spill behind bars
You're never the one
Burn up baby!
We're never gonna woo who we wanted to woo
We're never gonna kiss a mysterious mistress or mister
Who knew our loves chances were through?
But given half a chance I'd dance with you
Burn up!
But here's the thing!
We'll never, never be cool enough to fly as high as stars
We'll never be hip enough to hire those cars
We'll never, never feel our secrets chicer people keep
Are spilled behind bars
You're never the one
Burn up, baby!
We'll never, never be cool enough to mark that deck of cards
We'll never be hip enough to park their cars
We'll never, never know what secrets chicer people keep
You're never the one
