I remember one hot full moon night
Dancing ’round the fire
All the girls took off their shoes
Rhythm took us higher
You stood in a safe distance
We heard you laugh at us
But as I remember
No one gave a fuss
No swinging in your walking
(Swinging in your walking)
So why should I go your way?
There’s nothing tender in your talking
(Tender in your talking)
So why should I do what you say?
(x2)
All you ever do is
Mourn and complain
About my life using words like,
Disgrace and shame
Taking my ideas and dreams
As personal insults
Wanting me to be like you
But I will sing on
No swinging in your walking
(Swinging in your walking)
So why should I go your way?
There’s nothing tender in your talking
(Tender in your talking)
So why should I do what you say?
(x2)
I have tried to make you understand
My point of view
So many times, but now I know
You won’t try anything new
I guarantee you’d feel refreshed
If you listen to what I say
I’m all right, ’cause for some time now
I have found my way
No swinging in your walking
(Swinging in your walking)
So why should I go your way?
There’s nothing tender in your talking
(Tender in your talking)
So why should I do what you say?
(x2)
(No swinging in your walking
There’s nothing tender in your talking
No swinging in your walking
Nothing tender in your talking)
