Get ready to make nice
Get ready to ignite
The way your moves are messin' me.
Justice is an ABC, do the dance, do the dance.
The way you move is a mystery.
Just easy as ABC, do the dance, do the dance.
You've always been there for me Tiffany
You've always been there for music and me
And I would die for you
And I cry, too
And I would sign a ring.
And I would die for you
And I cry, too
And I would sing the rain.
Dance with the One who bungya
or
Dance with the One who bought ya
or
Dance with the One who bought ya
Dance with the One who brung ya
Don't change heads
You know it's your underwear
Don't change hats
You know it's the one you wear
Stupid pans and fans, no more laughs
It's only ten to one.
('Cause) It's the past that's gonna last
It's only ten to one.
Stupid pans and fans, no more laughs
It's in the past, it's fast, it won't last
I'd of had to miss the dance.
I'd've had to miss the dance.
Everyone mistypes this lyric as 'I'd of had...' which makes no grammatical sense. 'I'd of' isn't legitimate English. He merely makes a double contraction of 'I would have had to miss the dance' to 'I'd've had to miss the dance'.
Ida had to miss the dance.
I'd've had to miss the dance.
Our lives are better lived in chains
Our lives are better left to chance
