Mystery dance

Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill.
He jumped out the window cause he couldn´t sit still.
Juliet was waiting with a safety net.
He said "Don´t bury me cause I´m not dead yet".
Why don´t you tell me ´bout the mystery dance.
I wanna know about the mystery dance.
Why don´t you show me,
´cause I´ve tried and I´ve tried,
and I´m still mystified.
I can´t do it anymore and I´m not satisfied.
I can´t do it anymore and I´m not satisfied.
Well I remember when the lights went out
and I was tryin´ to make it look like it was never in doubt.
She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew,
so both of us were willing, but we didn´t know how to do it.
Why don´t you tell me ´bout the mystery dance.
I wanna know about the mystery dance.
Why don´t you show me,
´cause I´ve tried and I´ve tried,
and I´m still mystified.
I can´t do it anymore and I´m not satisfied.
I can´t do it anymore and I´m not satisfied.
Well I was down under the covers in the middle of the night,
tryin´ to discover my left foot from my right.
You can see those pictures in any magazine.
But what´s the use of looking when you don´t know what they mean.
Why don´t you tell me ´bout the mystery dance.
I wanna know about the mystery dance.
Why don´t you show me,
´cause I´ve tried and I´ve tried,
and I´m still mystified.
I can´t do it anymore and I´m not satisfied.
I can´t do it anymore and I´m not satisfied.
