[Verse 1]
Oh yeah
I've got to keep on dancing
Play the music
I don't want no chance to cry, no
Funky music (funky music)
To keep me on my feet, yeah
Groovy music (groovy music)
Holding back the misery
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm dancing (dancing)
I gotta prance around
I gotta keep from crying
I'm dancing (dancing)
It wouldn't hurt so bad
It wouldn't be so sad
I'm dancing (dancing)
I gotta prance around
I gotta keep from crying
I'm dancing (dancing), whoo...
[Verse 2]
But it hurts so bad inside
To have you leave me, baby
'Cause loving you, honey
It's something that I'm used to
I just don't know what to do
I don't know just what to say, no
I'm gonna dance
I'm gonna dance my blues away, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm dancing (dancing)
I gotta dance around
I gotta keep from crying
I'm dancing (dancing)
It wouldn't hurt so bad
It wouldn't be so sad
I'm dancing (dancing)
I gotta dance around
I gotta keep from crying
I'm dancing (dancing), whoo!
[Bridge]
(Gotta dance, gotta dance)
I'm dancing
I gotta dance on down
I gotta keep from crying, I'm dancing
Jump up, jump down, jump all around
I'm dancing
I'm gonna prance around
I gotta keep from crying, I'm dancing
[Verse 3]
Party all night long (party)
I wanna dance to every song
(Party hardy) I want the music very loud
I'm gonna dance all through the crowd
[Chorus/outro]
Oh, I'm dancing (dancing)
I gotta dance around
I got to keep from crying
I'm dancing (dancing)
It wouldn't hurt so bad
It wouldn't be so sad
I'm dancing (dancing)
I gotta dance around
I gotta keep from crying
I'm dancing (dancing)
It wouldn't hurt so bad
It wouldn't be so sad
I'm dancing (dancing)
I wanna dance around
I gotta keep from crying
I'm dancing (dancing)
