You can dance ev'ry dance with the guy
A7
Who gives you the eye; let him hold you tight.
You can smile ev'ry smile for the man

Who held your hand beneath the pale moonlight.

But don't for-get who's taking you home

And in whose arms you're going to be.

So darlin', save the last dance for me..Ooh.

Like sparklin' wine; go and have your fun.
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
D
Don't give your heart to anyone.

But don't for-get who's taking you home

I love you, oh, so much.

Till the night is gone and it's time to go.
If he asks if your alone,

Can he walk you home, you must tell him no.
