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 cone with me
'Cause you're gonna have to stay"
My heart was thumping I was jumping
I had to get away

Chorus
Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
When the world doesn't make no sense
And you're felling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Well I was talking wiht my baby
Over a small glass of tea
When she asked a loaded question
She 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 coming on

Repeat Chorus

You gotta dance, you gotta dance

Repeat Chorus

You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
