It was about five 'til five on Friday We were all getting ready to go And the boss man started screaming And his veins began to show He said, "You and you, come with me 'Cause you're gonna have to stay" My heart was thumping I was jumping I had to get away Some days you gotta dance Live it up when you get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense And you're feeling just a little too tense Gotta loosen up those chains and dance Well I was talking with my baby Over a small glass of tea He asked the loaded question He said, "How do you feel about me?" My mind was racin', I was pacin' But the words just wouldn't come And there was only one thing left to do I feel it comin' on Some days you gotta dance Live it up when you get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense And you're feeling just a little too tense Gotta loosen up those chains and dance, uh huh Some days you gotta dance Live it up when you get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense And you're feeling just a little too tense Gotta loosen up those chains and dance You gotta loosen up those chains and dance Come on and loosen up those chains and dance
