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 better dance with the one that brung ya   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'd better dance      Oh, 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 better dance with the one that brung ya   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'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 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 ya   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'd better dance, yeah
