Who ever told you that you know how to dance?
You move on the floor but you havn't got a chance.
You got your hands in your pockets
and you're wearing a seethru mask.

You don't wanna follow
but you don't know how to lead.
You bought all the books
but you didn't take the time to read.
The floor is slipp'ry
but you never paid no heed
Who ever told you
ever told you
that you know how to dance?
Who ever told 'you
ever told you
that you know how to dance?
Who ever told you? Who ever told you?
You never learned how to listen to the band.
So how can you say that you really understand?
You know there's a problem
but you just shake your head.
You step on people's toes
and now you wonder why you're dancing all alone.

You move too fast and you come on way too strong.
You don't wanna know if your steps are right or wrong.
And we've all been watchin' your dancin' far too long.
You don't wanna hear what the people have to say.
You just keep on movin' and you think they'll go away.
But after the dancin'
the piper must be paid.
Who ever told you
ever told you
that you know how to dance?
Who ever told you
ever told you
that you know how to dance?

Who ever told you? Who ever told you?
Who ever told you? Who ever told you?
