Well, it was 'bout five till five on a Friday   We were all gettin' ready to go   The boss man started screamin'   His veins began to show      He said you and you come with me   'Cause you're gonna have to stay   My heart was thumpin', I was jumpin'   And I had to get away      Some days you gotta dance   Live it up when you get the chance   'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense   And you're feelin' just a little too tense   You gotta loosen up those chains and dance      Well, I was talkin' to my baby   Over a small glass of tea   She asked the loaded question   She said how do you feel about me?      Well, my mind was racin', I was pacin'   But the words, they never would come   And there was only one thing   Left to do I feel it comin' on      Some days you gotta dance   Live it up when you get the chance   'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense   And you're feelin' just a little too tense   Gotta loosen up those chains and dance, come on      Some days you gotta dance   Live it up when you get the chance   'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense   And you're feelin' just a little too tense   You gotta loosen up those chains and dance, ooh, yeah      You gotta loosen up those chains and dance, dance   Want you to loosen up those chains and dance with me
