"Dance With A Stranger" lyrics

(Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new and then
Take them by the hand
And say you understand)

Look around the room
Find someone's eyes that are new to you
Might be a child's or a grandfather's
Anyone will do
Go say "Hello", "How do you do?"
Listen to their answer, commiserate
Say "I feel that way sometimes too"
And "Would you like to dance?"
And if they say "No" that's okay
But if they say "yes", take their hand
Lead them out on the dance floor
Listen to the music play
Open up your whole heart

And dance
Dance with a stranger
Til they're not a stranger anymore
You just dance
Dance with a stranger
Til they're not a stranger
Not a stranger anymore

(Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new and then
Take them by the hand
And say you understand)

Look around the room
There are so many people here like you
People who came here to be together
And dance it all away
Who wanna be good and love one another
And have big dreams, hard times and like to dance
Look around the room
Find somebody you've never seen before
And lead them out to the dance floor

And dance
Dance with a stranger
Til they're not a stranger anymore
You just dance
Dance with a stranger
Til they're not a stranger
Not a stranger anymore

(Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new and then
Take them by the hand
And say you understand)

Oh dance
Dance with a stranger
Til they're not a stranger anymore
You just dance
Dance with a stranger
Til they're not a stranger
Not a stranger anymore

(Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new and then
Take them by the hand
And say you understand)

(Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new and then)
Not a stranger
(Take them by the hand
And say you understand)

(Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new and then
Take them by the hand
And say you understand)
