My daddy told me when I was a young girl

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 watchin'

It's gotta come from the heart

If you want it to work

Now here is the one thing I keep forgettin'

When everything is falling apart

In life as in love, you know I need to remember

There's such a thing as trying too hard

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 watchin'

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 watchin'

It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
