When I was fourteen
I was falling fast
For a blue eyed girl
in my homeroom class
Trying to find the courage
to ask her out
Was like trying
to get oil from a waterspout
What she would have said
I can't say
I never did ask
and she moved away
But 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 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 wanna recieve
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 slamming door
Picked myself up
and came back for more
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
<Interlude>
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
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
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
