When I was a young girl, my daddy told me
A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago
If you want to have someone to hold onto
Youre gonna have to learn to let go

You have to sing (sing) like you dont need the money
Love (love) like youll never get hurt
You gotta dance (dance) like nobodys watching
Its got to come from the heart if you want it to work

Now here is the one thing I keep forgetting
When everything is falling apart
In life theres enough no I need to remember
Theres such a thing as trying too hard

You have to sing (sing) like you dont need the money
Love (love) like youll never get hurt
You gotta dance, dance, dance like nobodys watching
Its got to come from the heart if you want it to work

You have to sing sometimes like you dont need the money
Love sometimes like youll never get hurt
You gotta dance, dance, dance like nobodys watching
Its got to come from the heart if you want it to work
