it's the first night without you
since we said goodbye
now I need to find somewhere to ease my mind
before I'll break down and cry
[Chorus:]
gotta keep dancin' (ohh, I...I...I...)
gotta keep dancin' (I gotta keep dancin')
gotta keep dancin'
gotta keep dancin' (I gotta keep dancin')
I'll dressed up in style,
wear my brightest smile
though my heart is breaking inside
with these dancin' shoes, maybe I can lose
all the pain I'm tryin' to hide
so I'll dance around like a circus clown
pretending that I don't care
to ease the pain I feel, I kick up my heels
like Bo Jangles or Fred Astaire
[Chorus]
to the poundin' drum, a world had spun
like a girl on a flying trapeze
and with every step, suddenly I felt
like a bird who's been set free
yes, I'm dancin' 'til all the hurt I feel
things like our old memories
and the light appears,
this fellow made of tears
may find another to dance with me
[Chorus]
and if I dance 'til the night is through,
maybe then I'll forget about you
[Chorus]
gotta keep dancin', hey
dance, dance
you better dance, dance
keep on dance, dance
everbody dance, dance
[break]
I, I gotta keep dancin', yeah
dance, dance, oh... I...
come on, dancin', dancin', dancin'
come on, dance to the music
come on, yeah-eah, dance with me
dance, dance
dance, dance
you gotta, you gotta keep on dancin'
dancin', dancin', oooh yeah
everbody, get out on the floor
mess around, and swing around
rock around and dance to the music
everybody's dancin', oooh
dance, yeah, yeah....
