"Dance with me, you never dance with me" →[More:]Is there a song with these lyrics? It is a male singer. It's killing me.

You're thinking of "No Reply At All" by Genesis.

I thought it was this as well. I looked it up. He does say Dance with me, but never "you never dance with me". My husband and I thought it was Bowie. We knew it was a male with a British accent. Husband always sings this to me and we were trying to figure out who it was. :-)

Reminds me of a Raymond Carver story, "Why don't you dance?" Great fucking story.

Maybe Collins was a Carver fan.

kellydamnit, thank you for resolving the mysterious voice in my head. (Well, one of them, anyway.) I was hearing an almost-Bowie singing almost that phrase.

Phew!
