WHEN I WAS FOURTEEN I WAS FALLIN' FAST
FOR A BLUE EYED GIRL IN MY HOME ROOM CLASS
TRYING TO FIND THE COURAGE TO ASK HER OUT
IS LIKE TRYING TO GET OFF ON A WATER SPOUT
WHAT SHE WOULD'VE SAID I CAN'T SAY
I NEVER DID ASK, THEN SHE MOVED AWAY
BUT I LEARNED SOMETHING FROM MY BLUE EYED GIRL
SINK OR SWIM YOU GOT A TO GIVE IT A WHIRL
(CHORUS)
LIFE'S A DANCE YOU LEARN AS YOU GO
SOMETIMES YOU LEAD SOMETIMES YOU FOLLOW
DON'T WORRY ABOUT 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 WANT TO RECEIVE
THERE'S A TIME TO LISTEN, A TIME TO TALK
AND YOU MAY HAVE TO CRAWL EVEN AFTER YOU WALK
HAD SURE THINGS BLOW UP IN MY FACE
SING A LONE TRY TO WIN THE RACE
BEEN KNOCKED DOWN BY THE SLAMIN' DOOR
PICK MY SELF UP AND CAME BACK FOR MORE
(REPEAT CHORUS 3 TIMES)
LIFE'S A DANCE (REPEAT 3 TIMES)
TAKE A CHANCE ON LOVE
LIFE'S A DANCE YOU LEARN AS YOU GO
