You can dance, every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile, every smile at the man
Who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight

But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin', save the last dance for me

Oh, I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone

And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darlin', save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
I will never ever let you go
Oh, I love you, oh, so much

Oh, you can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone and it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he take you home? You must tell him no
