When I was fourteen I was fallin' fast
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class
Tryin to find the courage to ask her out
Was like tryin' to get oil from a water spout
What she would've said, I can't say
I never did ask then she moved away
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 'bout 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 receive
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 slammin' 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 'bout 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 'bout 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 'bout 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
