Mama says truth is all that matters Lying 'n' deceiving is a sin Drifting through a world that's torn and tattered Every thought I had don't mean a thing Don't stop, don't stop the dance No, more music, don't stop the dance Mama says love is all that matters Beauty should be deeper than your skin Living for the moment, lips and lashes Will I ever find my way again Don't stop, don't stop the dance No, more music, don't stop the dance Don't stop, don't stop the dance Mama says only stormy weather Don't know why there's no sun in the sky Footsteps in the dark come together Got to keep on moving or I'll die Don't stop, don't stop the dance No, more music, don't stop the dance Don't stop, don't stop the dance No, more music, don't stop the dance Don't stop, don't stop the dance
