I don't wanna dance Dance with you baby no more I'll never do something to hurt you, though Oh but the feeling is bad The feeling is bad I love your personality But I don't want our love on show Sometimes I think it's insanity Girl the way you go With all of the guys on the corner Oh baby, you're the latest trick Oh, you seem to have their number Look they're dancing still I don't wanna dance Dance with you baby no more I'll never do something to hurt you, though Oh but the feeling is bad The feeling is bad Baby now the party's over For us, so I'll be on my way Now that the things which moved me Are standing still I know it's only superstition Baby, but I won't look back Even though I feel your music Baby that is that I don't wanna dance Dance with you baby no more I'll never do something to hurt you, though Oh but the feeling is bad The feeling is bad Don't wanna dance Don't wanna dance Don't wanna dance Don't wanna dance Don't wanna dance Don't wanna dance Don't wanna dance I don't wanna dance Dance with you baby no more I'll never do something to hurt you, though Oh but the feeling is bad The feeling is bad

A canção “I Don’t Wanna Dance” atingiu o número 1 na UK Singles Chart em novembro de 1982, permanecendo lá por três semanas consecutivas.
A faixa foi lançada nos Estados Unidos somente em 1983, onde chegou à posição 53 na Billboard Hot 100.
O hit foi reeditado como verso B da música “Electric Avenue” de Eddy Grant, demonstrando a versatilidade das gravações do artista.
Eddy Grant criou a música durante um tour, quando, sentando no vestiário aguardando seu show, compôs rapidamente os acordes e a estrutura da canção.
O compositor descreveu a canção como uma “obra de protesto” que pode ser interpretada como “não querer ir à pista de dança” ou “não querer concordar com uma ideia”, refletindo seu afastamento de um país marcado por divisões de classe e cor.
