Lyrics

It's not the end of the world
but it's the end of us
you loved me for awhile
i said with a smile
yeah,but i can't do this dance anymore.

It's not the end of the world
but it's the end of us
and honey i can't do this dance anymore.

Walkin and pacin the floor
your love has got me quite torn
i don't know where to begin
maybe your new friend
flowers will send
them-
straight to your door
but,i can't do this dance anymore.

It's not the end of the world
but it's the end of us
and honey i can't do this dance anymore.

My heart is breakin and i've been shakin
enough is enough for sure
oh-i can't do this dance anymore
no-honey-
i can't do this dance anymore.

Oh-oh-baby now,
i can't do this dance anymore.

Great opening line. Instantly made me want to listen to the whole song. It's a very sparse production, but the strength of the lyric and vocal performance made it a very solid demo. Great job!

Good production and voice

This is a very well executed country song: the vocal pitch is spot-on, the lyrics fit the rhythm of the piece and the whole track hangs together convincingly.

Sounds nice as a demo, vocals are great! Gotta get a band in there on this one or a fiddle or slide guitar to fill it out a bit. Cool stuff love it!

i like the hook a lot! if the vocalist has the range i would love to hear some real lifts in the chorus.

Love the smooth sounding vocals... Very country-sounding:) nice accoustic guitar!

I liked the vocals. The singer has a strong country voice.

With a simple acoustic this is a great song. Really lovely.

A very good song with excellent vocal!

great Voice sounds like Loretta Lynn I think

I don't often listen to country music. What I enjoy about country music though is story-telling aspect of most country songs. Your song embodies that. Good job on the lyrics, and sharing personal emotions many can all relate to.

Good song...
