Take your time and watch your step

You better get it right or you'll get left behind

The way you're dancing I can tell

That someone else is on your mind

You better dance with the one that brung you

You better hold on to the one that loves you

You better turn around before we're through

And dance with the one that brung you

You better dance

Well, that sparkle in your wandering eye

Has struck you blind as far as I can see

Take one step back and look again

You're gonna leave with him or stay with me

You better dance with the one that brung you

You better hold on to the one that loves you

You better turn around before we're through

And dance with the one that brung you

You better dance, whoo

Well now, we've gone this long

Don't let it slip through your hands

Dance with the one that brung you

You better hold on to the one that loves you

You better turn around before we're through

And dance with the one that brung you

You better dance with the one that brung you

You better hold on to the one that loves you

You better turn around before we're through

And dance with the one that brung you

You better dance, yeah
