Dance With a Stranger

Left, right, front, side

Find somebody new

And then take them by the hand

And say you understand

Look around the room

Find someone's eyes that are new to you

Might be a child's or a grandfather's

Anyone will do

Go say, "Hello, how do you do?"

Listen to their answer, commiserate

Say, "I feel that way sometimes too"

And, "Would you like to dance?"

And if they say, "No," that's okay

But if they say, "Yes," take their hand

Lead them out on the dance floor

Listen to the music play

Open up your whole heart

And dance, dance with a stranger

'Til they're not a stranger anymore

You just dance, dance with a stranger

'Til they're not a stranger, not a stranger anymore

Left, right, front, side

Find somebody new

And then take them by the hand

And say you understand

Look around the room

There are so many people here like you

People who came here to be together

And dance it all away

Who wanna be good and love one another

And have big dreams or hard times, and like to dance

Look around the room

Find somebody you've never seen before

And lead them out to the dance floor

And dance, dance with a stranger

'Til they're not a stranger anymore

You just dance, dance with a stranger

'Til they're not a stranger, not a stranger anymore

Ooh-ooh-ooh

(Left, right, front, side)

(Find somebody new)

(And then take them by the hand)

(And say you understand)

Oh-ooh-ooh, dance, dance with a stranger

'Til they're not a stranger anymore

You just dance, dance with a stranger

'Til they're not a stranger, not a stranger anymore

Left, right, front, side

Find somebody new (Ooh, yeah)

And then take them by the hand (Oh-oh-oh, yeah)

And say you understand

Oh, left, right, front, side (Mm-mm)

Find somebody new

And then take them by the hand (Not a stranger)

And say you understand

Left, right, front, side

Find somebody new

And then take them by the hand

And say you understand
