(Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman)
You can dance (you can dance)
Ev'ry dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
(You can dance, you can dance)
You can smile (you can smile)
Ev'ry smile for the man
Who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me
Oh, I know (oh, I know)
That the music's fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun
(You can dance, you can dance)
Laugh and sing (laugh and sing)
But while we're apart,
Don't give your heart
To anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me
Baby, don't you know I love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
I will never, never let you go
I love you, oh, so much
You can dance (you can dance)
Go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
(You can dance, you can dance)
If he asks (if he asks)
If you're all alone,
Can he take you home,
You must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So, darlin', save the last dance for me
(2x)
Ooh, darlin', save the last dance for me
Ooh, honey, save the last dance for me
