Intro:  C5 Bb5 F5 C5

        C5
Well he shines like a penny in a little kid's hand
          Bb5
When he's out on a Saturday night
        C5                                             G5
He's a real go-getter and the best two-stepper you'll see
             C5
But when I'm sitting alone at a table for two
Bb5                            F5
Cause he's already out on the floor
   C5                            G5                   C5     G5
I think about something that my mama used to say to me

                   C5
Chorus:      You got to dance with the one that brought you
        Bb5                     F5
      Stay with the one that wants you
            C5                                                  G5
      The one who's gonna love you when all of the others go home
        C5
      Don't let the green grass fool you
        Bb5                     F5
      Don't let the moon get to you
        C5                      G5                            C5
      Dance with the one who brought you and you can't go wrong


Bb5 F5 C5

             C5
He's got his old best buddies and his new best friends
        Bb5                     F5
And the girls all give him the eye
       C5                                              G5
He's a good time Charlie and the life of the party tonight
           C5
But when I think about another well I don't think twice
Bb5                                   F5
Cause there'll never be another like him
  C5                                G5                       C5     G5
I know he really loves me and I think maybe that mama was right


Chorus

F5             C5                        G5
You've got to dance with the one that brought you
                   C5
And you can't go wrong
