Some Days You Gotta Dance

It was about five till five on Friday

We were all getting ready to go

And the boss man started screaming

And his veins began to show

He said you and you come with me

'Cause you're gonna have to stay

My heart was thumping, I was jumping

I had to get away

Some days you gotta dance

Live it up when you get the chance

'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense

And you're feeling just a little too tense

Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Well, I was talking with my baby

Over a small glass of tea

He asked the loaded question

He said how do you feel about me

My mind was racin', I was pacin'

But the word just wouldn't come

And there was only one thing

Left to do I feel it comin' on

Some days you gotta dance

Live it up when you get the chance

'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense

And you're feeling just a little too tense

Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Some days you gotta dance

Live it up when you get the chance

'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense

And you're feeling just a little too tense

Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

You gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Come on and loosen up those chains and dance
