When I was fourteen I was fallin' fast

For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class.

Tryin to find the courage to ask her out

Was like tryin' to get oil from a water spout.

What she would've said, I can't say.

I never did ask then she moved away.

I learned something from my blue-eyed girl:

sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl.

Life's a dance, you learn as you go.

Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.

Don't worry 'bout what you don't know,

life's a dance, you learn as you go.

The longer I live the more I believe

You do have to give if you wanna receive.

There's a time to listen, a time to talk.

And you might have to crawl even after you walk.

Had sure things blow up in my face,

Seen the longshot win the race.

Been knocked down by the slammin' door.

Picked myself up and came back for more.

(3x):

Life's a dance, you learn as you go.

Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.

Don't worry 'bout what you don't know,

life's a dance, you learn as you go.

Life's a dance

Life's a dance

Life's a dance

Take a chance on love

Life's a dance

you learn as you go
