When I was fourteen I was falling fastFor a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom classTryin' to find the courage to ask her outWas like trying to get oil from a water spoutWhat she would've said, I can't sayI never did ask, she move awayI learned something from my blue-eyed girlSink or swim, you ought to give it a whirlChorusLife's a dance you learn as you goSometimes you lead, sometimes you followDon't worry 'bout what you don't knowLife's a dance you learn as you goThe longer I live, the more I believeYou do have to give if you want to receiveThere's a time to listen and a time to talkAnd you might have to crawlEven after you walkI've had sure things blow up in my faceSeen the longshot win the raceBeen knocked down by the slamming doorPicked myself up and came back for moreChorusLife's a dance you learn as you goSometimes you lead, sometime you followDon't worry 'bout what you don't knowLife's a dance you learn as you go
