9. Why Not Me? (Robin Bienemann, Patrick Kelly, Troy Therrien) Robin Bienemann - guitar, vocals / Troy Therrien - guitar / Patrick Kelly - bass, vocals / Marcus Trana - drums | inspired by: Kelly Avenson dancing boy photo

lyrics

A room full of people and I don’t care. I got a
Clean white shirt and a brand new haircut.
What’s it gonna hurt? How bad can it be?
Why not me?

If you are the first one out on the dance floor dancin’
What’s the worst thing that can possibly happen?
I just got a burst of energy, so
Why not me?

You got to dance with somebody, so why not me?
You got to dance with somebody, so why not me?

I like your dress and your smile. With whom
Do I have the pleasure of speaking? I’m shy,
But I’m not the least-good-looking guy in the
Room so why … not me?

I took a shower and my breath smells just like toothpaste
Just like everybody else in this place.
I got starch in my pleats and I’m dressed to the T, so ?
Why not me?

This music sucks but the food’s alright.
My friends had plans, but I didn’t want to fight about it.
You need a partner and I can’t leave so
Why not me?

I had been warned that dancing was the Devil’s amusement
As I danced alone in the crowd, He spoke to me:

So step up and though you may not own it
I will reveal the feel
And shortly after you’ve been shown it
We will both congeal

When all the other kids are singing my praises
You will be the first
One the dance floors and various stages
And where the legend occurs

So hit it just right and lock it in tight
Learn to love the burn
We’re celebrating your coronation
At the head of the firm

You gotta dance with somebody, kid, so why not me?
You gotta dance with somebody, kid, so why not me?

You got to dance with somebody, so why not me?
You got to dance with somebody, so why not me?
You got to dance with somebody, so why not me?
