Careless Whisper Lyrics

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should've known better than to cheat a friend (should've known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh

(Now that you're gone) now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?

What is the Meaning of Careless Whisper?

In a symphony of regret and longing, this timeless classic weaves a tale of love lost due to unfaithful actions. The protagonist's guilt is tangible as he laments his inability to dance - a metaphor for joy, intimacy, and life - without the presence of the one he betrayed. He realizes that his deceit has cost him the rhythm of love, leaving him in an abyss of remorse. There's an undercurrent of denial and wishful thinking, hinting at the desire for things to revert back to how they were. However, the harsh reality remains: trust once broken can never be fully restored. This song serves as a poignant reminder that actions have consequences and some mistakes can change the course of our lives forever. #LoveLost #RegretAndRemorse
