[Verse 1]
Look over here, there's a girl, I've never seen her before
Her eyes are lookin' straight at you across the crowded dance floor
Ooh, she's smilin', what a beautiful sight
Oh, I got a funny feelin' she's gonna dance with you tonight

[Chorus]
She could be the perfect partner
She can take it in her stride
She won't try to lead or follow
Perfect partner by your side

[Verse 2]
Ooh, you got to take a chance, you got to let somebody move you
It can happen at a dance, if there's a rhythm you can groove to
Ooh, here she comes, y'all, she's comin' straight to me
She's gonna ask me if I want to dance, I just have to wait and see

[Chorus]
She could be the perfect partner
She can take it in her stride
She won't have to lead or follow
Perfect partner by my side

[Bridge]
The worst thing that can happen
Is she steps on your toes
But 'til you take that first step with her
How will you know, know, know?
[Chorus]
That she could be the perfect partner
She can take it in her stride
She won't have to lead or follow
Perfect partner by my side

[Chorus]
She could be the perfect partner
She can take it in her stride
She won't have to lead or follow
Perfect partner by my side
