| Well he shines like a penny in a little kid’s hand
|
| When he’s out on a Saturday night
|
| He’s a real go-getter and the best two-stepper you’ll see
|
| But when I’m sittin' alone at a table for two
|
| 'Cause he’s already out on the floor
|
| I think about somethin' that my mama used to say to me
|
| Chorus:
|
| You got to dance with the one that brought you
|
| Stay with the one that want’s you
|
| The one who’s gonna love you when all of the others go home
|
| Don’t let the green grass fool you
|
| Don’t let the moon get to you
|
| Dance with the one that brought you and you can’t go wrong
|
| He’s got his old best buddies and his new best friends
|
| And all the girls give him the eye
|
| He’s a good time Charlie and the life of the party tonight
|
| But when I think about another well I don’t think twice
|
| 'Cause there’ll never be another like him
|
| I know he really loves me and I think maybe mama was right
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| You’ve got to dance with the one that brought you
|
| And you can’t go wrong |
