I Gotta Dance To Keep From Crying

Gather 'round my friends here

Help me forget my hurtin' tears

About the only girl I ever loved

The only one baby

I gotta dance to keep from cryin' (crying)

Gotta dance to keep from crying' (crying)

Whoa, do the flop (do the flop)

Do the twist (do the twist)

Everybody, it goes like this

You gotta dance, got me swayin', got me, alright

Gotta dance, got me swayin', got me, alright

I'm so lonely since we parted

You memory leaves me so broken hearted

I gotta dance to keep from cryin' (crying)

Gotta dance to keep from crying' (crying)

Do the bird (do the bird)

Do the fly (do the fly)

Do the bang, yeah, you can't miss

Everybody, yeah, it goes like this

You gotta dance, got me swayin', got me, alright

Gotta dance, got me swayin', got me, alright

Heartaches can gather 'round

Misery I sure have found

I gotta dance to keep from cryin' (crying)

Gotta dance to keep from crying' (crying)

You goin' softer now, you goin' softer now...
