It was about five 'til five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go
The boss man started screamin'
His veins began to show
He said you and you come with me
'Cause you're gonna have to stay
My heart was thumping, I was jumping
I had to get away
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Well I was talking to my baby
Over a small gla** of tea
He asked the loaded question
"How do you feel about me?"
My mind was racin' I was pacin'
But the words just wouldn't come
There was only one thing left to do
I feel it commin' on
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
(Come on)
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance,
Um dance,
Want you to loosen up those chains
And dance with me
