It was about five 'til five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go
And the boss man started screamin' and his veins began to show
He said you and you come with me 'cause you're gonna have to stay
My heart was thumpin' I was jumpin' 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 feelin' just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Well I was talkin' 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 feelin' just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

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 feelin' just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Come on loosen up those chains and dance
