Intro:  C Bb F C 
 
        C 
Well he shines like a penny in a little kid's hand 
          Bb 
When he's out on a Saturday night 
        C                                             G 
He's a real go-getter and the best two-stepper you'll see 
             C 
But when I'm sitting alone at a table for two 
Bb                            F 
Cause he's already out on the floor 
   C                            G                   C     G 
I think about something that my mama used to say to me 
 
                   C 
Chorus:  You got to dance with the one that brought you 
        Bb                     F 
   Stay with the one that wants you 
            C                                                  G 
   The one who's gonna love you when all of the others go home 
        C 
   Don't let the green grass fool you 
        Bb                     F 
   Don't let the moon get to you 
        C                      G                            C 
   Dance with the one who brought you and you can't go wrong 
 
 
Bb F C 
 
             C 
He's got his old best buddies and his new best friends 
        Bb                     F 
And the girls all give him the eye 
       C                                              G 
He's a good time Charlie and the life of the party tonight 
           C 
But when I think about another well I don't think twice 
Bb                                   F 
Cause there'll never be another like him 
  C                                G                       C     G 
I know he really loves me and I think maybe that mama was right 
 
 
Chorus 
 
F             C                        G 
You've got to dance with the one that brought you 
                   C 
And you can't go wrong 
 
Bb F C
