When I was a young girl my daddy told me
A lesson he learned it was a long time ago
If you want to have someone to hold onto
You're gonna have to learn to let go
You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
Now here is the one thing that I keep forgettin'
When everything is fallin' apart
In life as in love what I need to remember
There's such a thing as trying too hard
[ mandolin ]
You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance dance dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
You got to sing sometimes like you don't need the money
Love sometimes like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance dance dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
