Lyrics

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 Well, I remember Friday night, 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 did 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 Well, I was underneath 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 I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
