Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Well he shines like a penny in a little kid's hand

 When he's out on a Saturday night

 He's a real go-getter and the best two-stepper you'll see

 But when I'm sitting alone at a table for two

Cause he's already out on the floor

 I think about something that my mama used to say to me

Chorus

You got to dance with the one that brought you

  Stay with the one that wants you

  The one who's gonna love you when all of the others go home

  Don't let the green grass fool you

  Don't let the moon get to you

  Dance with the one who brought you and you can't go wrong

 He's got his old best buddies and his new best friends

 And the girls all give him the eye

 He's a good time Charlie and the life of the party tonight

 But when I think about another well I don't think twice

Cause there'll never be another like him

 I know he really loves me and I think maybe that mama was right

Chorus

You've got to dance with the one that brought you

 And you can't go wrong
