Take your time and watch your step

You'd better get it right

Or you'll get left behind

The way you're dancin' I can tell

That someone else is on your mind



You'd better dance with the one that brung ya

You'd better hold on to the one that loves you

You'd better turn around before we're through

And dance with the one that brung ya

You'd better dance



And that sparkle in your wanderin' 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'd better dance with the one that brung ya

You'd better hold on to the one that loves you

You'd better turn around before we're through

And dance with the one that brung ya

You'd better dance



Well now we've gone this long

Don't let it slip through your hands



Dance with the one that brung ya

You'd better hold on to the one that loves you

You'd better turn around before we're through

And dance with the one that brung ya



You'd better dance with the one that brung ya

You'd better hold on to the one that loves you

You'd better turn around before we're through

And dance with the one that brung ya

You'd better dance

Yeah
