Dance! Lyrics

Dance
You gotta dance
Dance
You gotta dance
Dance
You gotta dance
As long as the music plays
Dance
Don’t even think why
You gotta dance
Start to think
Your feet stops
Dance
Your feet stop
We get stuck
You gotta Dance
We get stuck
You’re stuck
Dance
So don't pay any mind
You gotta dance
No matter how dumb

You gotta keep the step
You gotta limber up
You got to loosen what you got bolted down
You gotta use all you got

Dance
We know you’re tired
You gotta dance
Tired and scared
Dance
Happens to everyone, OK
You gotta dance
Just don’t let your feet stop
As long as the music plays

Dancing is everything
Dance in tip top form
Dance so it all keeps spinning

Dance
If you do that
You gotta dance
We might be able to do something for you
Dance
You gotta dance
You gotta dance
As long as the music plays

Dancing is everything
Dance in tip top form
Dance so it all keeps spinning

You got to...
You got to...
Dance
You got to dance
You got to dance
You got to dance
You got to dance
You got to
You got to
You got to
As long as the music plays

You gotta dance
As long as the music plays

Dancing is everything
Dance in tip top form
Dance so it all keeps spinning

You gotta keep the step
You gotta limber up
You got to loosen what you got bolted down
You gotta use all you got

Dance
We know you’re tired
You gotta dance
Tired and scared
Dance
Happens to everyone, OK
You gotta dance
Just don’t let your feet stop
As long as the music plays

Dancing is everything
Dance in tip top form
Dance so it all keeps spinning

Dance
If you do that
You gotta dance
We might be able to do something for you
Dance
You gotta dance
You gotta dance
As long as the music plays

Dancing is everything
Dance in tip top form
Dance so it all keeps spinning

You got to...
You got to...
Dance
You got to dance
You got to dance
You got to dance
You got to dance
You got to
You got to
You got to
As long as the music plays

You gotta dance
As long as the music plays

Dancing is everything
Dance in tip top form
Dance so it all keeps spinning

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

These lyrics are from a paragraph (p. 86) in the novel "Dance Dance Dance" By Haruki Murakami (1988):

“So what do I have to do?” “Dance,” said the Sheep Man “You gotta dance. As long as the music plays. You gotta dance. Don’t even think why. Start to think, your feet stop. Your feet stop, we get stuck. We get stuck, you’re stuck. So don’t pay any mind, no matter how dumb. You gotta keep the step. You gotta limber up. You gotta loosen what you bolted down. You gotta use all you got. We know you’re tired, tired and scared. Happens to everyone, okay? Just don’t let your feet stop.” I looked up and gazed again at the shadow on the wall. “Dancing is everything,” continued the Sheep Man “Dance in tip-top form. Dance so it all keeps spinning. If you do that, we might be able to do something for you. You gotta dance, as long as the music plays.” Dance. As long as the music plays echoed my mind.
