"Life Is Like A Dance" lyrics

Life is like a dance
Life is like a dance
Life is like a dance
Life is like a dance
You got to take a chance
Life is like a dance
One step at a time
Life is like a dance

I got a brand new dance called to each his own
You can do it with a partner or do it alone
There's no special way that it has to be done
Some do it two on two, some do it one on one
Let's go step for step and then breath for breath
See my life is like a dance and my dance is def
My dance is def, so def that it's beyond compare
You see my life is like a dance and I'm willing to share
See my life is like a dance called the merry-go-round
It goes up and down and round and round
Sometimes I get dizzy but I also get dizzy
All I'm asking you for is to dance with me
All you got to do is take one step at a time
See my life is like a dance and the dance is mine
This dance is hot, that's right, and there'll be no cutting in
And we won't stop rocking 'til the music ends

Now the dance you do, it says a lot about you
I can tell your life story from the dance you do
I bet you bump into people every day of the week
I bet every now and then you feel like a freak
Like Diana Ross said, you need some muscles
Life kind of reminds me of the dance the hustle
People stepping on your toes when you're trying to rock
I know that you agree 'cause you're doing the wop
Now even my romances remind me of dances
The first chance I got to dance and romance was with Frances
She waltzed through my life like it was no thing
But she had another partner, she liked to shing-a-ling
Silly rabbit had a habit of hop-hopping around
Caught her wiggling and giggling with some hip-hop downtown
See that was her way, now this way is mine
And I'm bound to get another dance down the hip-hop line

That's why, the reason I say that life is like dancing
'Cause you got to learn the new steps, you got to take chances
You got to be able to rock to the groove
While everybody in the party's in a different mood
Some like to dance slow, some like to dance fast
I can tell the way you're living by the way that you dance
But you live your life and I'll live mine
And we'll all dance along to the same bassline
Now music is music by any name
Call a rose what you want and it smells the same
You may like funk and you may like punk
You may like opera which I think is junk
You may like reggae and you may like pop
But no matter what you like, you like to be rocked
So you do your dance and I'll do mine
And we'll all dance along to the same bassline
