My baby’s asking where I’ve been
Said I’ve been flirting with the wind
My baby’s asking where I’ve been
Came home shaking shivering
My baby’s got me in a spin
I don’t know if I’ll ever win
Oh ‘cause it’s too much of a risk
To tell her who my Jackie is
(Who my jackie, who my jackie is)

My soul is wearing thin
Who knew that dancing was a sin

Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin

My baby wants me home and dry
My left foot wants me up all night
Sweet Tammi’s keeping track of time
While I'm two steppin on the line
(I'm two steppin, steppin on the line)

My soul is wearing thin
Who knew that dancing was a sin

Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin

Let me tell you a little somethin about it
She been tryna tie me down for a real long time
She don’t move like this moves me
She’s nice and all, but you know what

It’s a shame she doesn’t get it
A shame she doesn’t see
It don’t make me a traitor
And it don’t make me cheat
You can try to stop the music
But you can’t stop my feet
Just give me a bourbon
A bass line and a beat

My soul is wearing thin
Who knew that dancing was a sin
Oh my soul is wearing thin
Who knew that dancing was a sin

Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
Who knew, who knew, that dancing was a sin
