[Verse]
        C
Well he shines like a penny in a little kid's hand
          Bb
When he's out on a Saturday night
        C                                             G
He's a real go-getter and the best two-stepper you'll see
             C
But when I'm sitting alone at a table for two
Bb                            F
Cause he's already out on the floor
   C                            G                   C     G
I think about something that my mama used to say to me
         
[Chorus]
          C
You got to dance with the one that brought you
     Bb                     F
Stay with the one that wants you
         C                                                  G
The one who's gonna love you when all of the others go home
     C
Don't let the green grass fool you
     Bb                     F
Don't let the moon get to you
     C                      G                            C
Dance with the one who brought you and you can't go wrong

             C
He's got his old best buddies and his new best friends
        Bb                     F
And the girls all give him the eye
       C                                              G
He's a good time Charlie and the life of the party tonight
           C
But when I think about another well I don't think twice
Bb                                   F
Cause there'll never be another like him
  C                                G                       C     G
I know he really loves me and I think maybe that mama was right

[Chorus]
F             C                        G
You've got to dance with the one that brought you
                   C
And you can't go wrong
