When I was a young man my daddy told me A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago If you want to have someone to hold onto You’re gonna have to learn to let go You got to sing like you don’t need the money Love like you’ll never get hurt You got to dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watchin’ It’s gotta come from the heart if you want it to work Now here is the one thing that I keep forgetting When everything is falling apart In life as in love, what I need to remember There’s such a thing as trying too hard You got to sing like you don’t need the money Love like you’ll never get hurt You gotta dance, dance, dance like nobody’s watching It’s got to come from the heart if you want it to work
