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 sittin' alone at a table for two Cause he's already out on the floor I think about somethin' that my mama used to say to me You got to dance with the one that brought you Stay with the one that want's 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 that brought you and you can't go wrong He's got his old best buddies and his new best friends And all the girls 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 mama was right You got to dance with the one that brought you Stay with the one that want's 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 that brought you and you can't go wrong You've got to dance with the one that brought you And you can't go wrong
