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 sitting alone
At a table for two
Cause he's already out on the floor
I think about something
That my mama used to say to me
You got to dance with the one that brought you
And stay with the one that wants 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
And stay with the one that wants 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
