Well he shines like a penny in a little kids hand
When he´s out on a Saturday night
He´s a real go-getter and the best two-stepper you´ll see
But when I´m sittin´ alone at a table for two
´Cause he´s already out on the floor
I think about somethin´ that my mama used to say to me

Chorus:
You got to dance with the one that brought you
Stay with the one that wants you
The one who´s gonna love you when all of the others go home
Don´t let the green grass fool you
Don´t let the moon get to you
Dance with the one that brought you and you can´t go wrong
He´s got his old best buddies and his new best friends
And the girls all give him the eye
He´s a good time Charlie and the life of the party tonight
But when I think about another well I don´t think twice
´Cause there´ll never be another like him
I know he really loves me and I think maybe mama was right

(Repeat Chorus)

You got to dance with the one that brought you
and you can´t go wrong
