Lyrics:
Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio
Let's sway
While color lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run
I'll run with you
And if you say hide
We'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let's dance
Let's dance
For fear your grace should fall
Let's dance
For fear tonight is all
Let's sway
You could look into my eyes
Let's sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
And if you say run
I'll run with you
And if you say hide
We'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
Let's dance
Let's dance
Let's dance, dance, dance

"I Will Survive"

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong,

And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along.

And so you're back from outer space.

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave your key

If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now, go. Walk out the door

Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I!

I will survive.

Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive.

I've got all my life to live.

I've got all my love to give.

And I'll survive,

I will survive, hey, hey.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.

Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.

And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself.

I used to cry but now I hold my head up high.

And you see me somebody new.

I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you.

And so you felt like dropping in,

And just expect me to be free.

And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me.

[2x]

Go on now, go. Walk out the door.

Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore.

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I!

I will survive.

Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive.

I've got all my life to live.

I've got all my love to give.

And I'll survive,

I will survive
