[Verse 1]
Take off your armor, friend of mine
I have no arrows, but I got time
All your sorrow keeps you glued to your seat
Can we get you out of your head and into your feet?
And it's not that the rest of us don't have the blues
It's just that some dance partners need a dance partner, too
Is that you?

[Pre-Chorus]
Some dance partners need a dance partner, too
Is that you?

[Chorus]
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself

[Verse 2]
Take off your armor, let down your hair
You could sit on your hands or you could get closer, if you dare
And it's not that the rest of us don't have to fight
For every bit of love and every bit of light
But tonight, it's Friday night
[Pre-Chorus]
Some dance partners need a dance partner, too
Is that you?

[Chorus]
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself

[Chorus]
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself
Life's too short to dance by yourself

Not by yourself
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself
Life's too short to dance by yourself
Think you should dance with somebody
Dance with somebody, dance with somebody
Not by yourself
