Johnston, Daniel - I'll Do Anything But Break Dance For Ya, Darling Lyrics






Sometimes I feel like I am a boxer
Seems like I'm always standing in the ring
And then I find someone's been in my locker
He left me a note that says I can't sing
I'll do anything but break dance for you, darlin'

I just stepped out of the doniker
I don't know what happened and I can't remember
But I was soon to discover
That my radio had been broken
I'll do anything but break dance for ya, darlin'

Don't you know that I love you, love you
Don't you know that I love you, love you
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm

All the folks on dope in search of hope
Everybody and the lonely orphan
And everyone around the world
Every boy and every girl
For all the good times
Always remember and never forget
In my secret heart
I'll do anything but break dance for ya, darlin'

Don't you know that I love you, love you
Don't you know that I love you, love you

  4. M.... G....

    On this somber day, I've been playing DJ on YT all afternoon. It fills my heart with such joy reading the comments on every video. The love and healing that this soul generated from his art can't be compared to anyone! We'll never EVER get another one quite like him, and that's why it hurts so bad. I hadn't cried since 2014, but Honey I Sure Miss You pulled the tears out in buckets this afternoon. I know I'm not alone, we're all in this together guys! Let's honor his life by being a little bit nicer, a little bit more charitable, a little more understanding.

  5. M.... ....

    This man. His essence. His soul. His pain. His hurt. It's all so sad and beautiful. He's always got to me. More than the rest. It chokes me up alright.

  19. A.... S....

    Daniel you changed my mind

  20. D.... J....

    If you know Isaac Gracie Tell him to cover this song keep the same melody and keys.

  21. D.... J....

    Listening to this rips me apart especially When he sings I love you when there is nobody to sing back plus he is in agony crying at the end. I have an idea Daniel deserves better.

    D.... J....

    false. i love danny & my comfort is him knowing he is loved.

    D.... J....

    @Jessica HayesDaniel was a much loved person and he will be sorely missed I am grateful that you cared for and loved him

  25. R.... U....

    these comments so amazing <3

  26. G.... K....

    Daniel Johnston is one of the most incredible musical talents on the planet.  Utterly unique, amazingly gifted, singularly creative.  Each one of his pieces is sheer perfection.

  27. K.... ....

    Utterly beautiful & sincere. I'll always love Daniel..

  28. U.... S....

    This song...it's like the living from of feeling tantalized, alone, alienated, wanting love but never receiving it...it's tremendously beautiful and I must meet this man to let him know that someone can feel the feelings that he holds deep down in his heart.

    U.... S....

    Uncle SquidDefibrillator feel you brother.

  29. S.... ....

    denisethepainter, What in the wide world of sports are you replying to?

  30. S.... ....

    He can't sing well (obviously) but his emotion rings out and it tugs at your heart. It's like listening to a 5yr old singing with pure innocence.

    S.... ....

    I think he sings fucking amazingly.

    S.... ....

    What you on about? He sings like a motherfucker!!

    S.... ....

    Sounds exactly how it's meant to sound Senior...

    S.... ....

    Especially the love you bit

    S.... ....

    @buttrock obama Sorry replying so late but, yes I know him and his family. Been to his dad's house to visit and used to see Dan every Sunday in church until his dad's passing. Mostly have conversations with Dan's brother and nephew.

  31. o.... ....

    daniel you transformed my mood today. you made me whole again. I dont know if this is an illusion again.. but it kind of brought love to my heart. Love for you. I want to blast you so everyone can hear.. but i know your purpose is for my ears only. Maybe they will understand though.

    o.... ....

    You're such a beautiful man for making a remark so incredibly honest.

    o.... ....

    I understand this wholly, completely.

    o.... ....

    3 years later haha

    o.... ....

    If I could blast Dan's music and have his fans swarm up I would. Can't say that I haven't tried, but to no avail :/

  32. r.... ....

    great picture also

  33. B.... S....

    You shouldn't have said that. Now some jackass went and disliked it.

  34. B.... S....

    There is nothing like the experience of discovering Daniel Johnston. The only downside is that once it happens, there's very little else that can measure up.

    B.... S....

    Barrel Shape discovery occurring currently. 😳...........😩

  35. S.... S....

    truly worth it love this stuff

  36. t.... ....

    you would probably get fired...not saying it wouldnt be worth it tho

  37. g.... l....

    hey all u dj fans, get 'white magic', a collection of non album tracks fron 79-89. There's some gold in them thar hills...

  38. g.... l....

    love this song

  39. S.... S....

    if i was a Dj i'd play a whole set of Daniel's music, just 2 see the reactions

  40. E.... A....

    Retired Boxer is such an unknown masterpiece. It's delicate, outspoken, poignant, contemplative, dark, and sympathetic. It also contains the most complex and beautiful arrangements Daniel ever put to tape. From 1983-1984, Daniel was absolutely in his prime, desperately holding on to innocence while his mind was falling apart around him.

    E.... A....

    Logan Archer Respect is and was a masterpiece as well. Honestly one of my favorites, think of pieces like No Love in Town, An Angel Cry, Merry-go-round, You Killed My Baby, Heartbreak Hotel, (pretty much the whole fucking album). This was only a year after. I think it's safe to say, that when it comes to music and art, Dan's always in his prime.

    E.... A....

    Daniel never left his prime, i can't find a bad song by him honestly (well maybe the second track from Songs of Pain but its still nice c:)
    from 1981 till 1992 Daniel was 10/10 i can't find a bad thing about his music through all that time everything was perfect.
    later obv it became a bit more produced but its still loveable and great <3

    E.... A....

    agreed.

  41. c.... ....

    you should be happy AND crying. johnston's been there before, so it's ok.

  42. e.... b....

    I was just listening to this song and my mother walked in and said, "how can you stand that noise?" I was happy and now I'm crying.

    e.... b....

    Elah Growe story of my life b

  43. x.... ....

    Truth is, Daniel, that, if he asks me, I'd do break dance too.

  44. p.... ....

    this is probably the only video i've ever seen on youtube that has 0 dislikes. thank you for that.

  45. R.... L....

    well goddam

  46. r.... ....

    I like how he knows that people think and know he can't sing but he just keeps on singing!!! wish he'd go back to playing the piano, went back to doing it solo and stopped playing in front of musicans.

  47. O.... B....

    Ive only just found about him tonight, and feel the same way totally, its blown my mind.

  48. l.... ....

    First time i smile this week

    l.... ....

    First time i can cry this month

  49. r.... ....

    I somehow stumbled upon Daniel Johnston a couple days ago, after the shock has begun to settle a bit its becoming clear to me that he may be the most talented songwriter since...shit, ever. Maybe I am still in shock, I don't know.

  50. J.... T....

    piano haunts me long after

  51. 9.... ....

    this is prob one of his best song so far that i have run into...

  52. E.... A....

    So beautiful, my gosh...

  53. W.... ....

    this might be my favorite DJ song, its hard to really rate them. i love it tho

  54. I.... ....

    "that says, i can't sing"- breaks my heart<3

  55. V.... F....

    I hoped you'd break dance for me... :s

  56. A.... ....

    one of my favorite D. Johnston songs
