When I was a young man, my daddy told me
a lesson he learned a long time ago
if you want to have some-one to hold onto
your gonna have to learn to let go

You gotta sing, like you don't need the money
love, like you'll never get hurt
you gotta dance, like theres nobody watching
its gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work
now now here is the one thing I keep forgeting
when everything is falling apart
in life as in love I need to remember
thers such a thing as trying to hard

You gotta sing, like you don't need the money
love, like you'll never get hurt
you gotta dance, like theres nobody watching
its gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work

You gotta sing sometimes, like you don't need the money
love sometimes, like you'll never get hurt
you gotta dance, dance, dance, like theres nobody watching
its gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work

You gotta sing, like you don't need the money
love, like you'll never get hurt
you gotta dance, like theres nobody watching
its gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work
its gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work
