Paroles Dance with a stranger Lake Street Dive

Dance with a stranger

Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new
And then take them by the hand
And say you understand

Look around the room
Find someone’s eyes that are new to you
Might be a child’s or a grandfather’s
Anyone will do
Go say “Hello”
“How do you do”
Listen to their answer
Commiserate
Say “I feel that way sometimes too
And would you like to dance?”
And if they say, “No,” that’s ok
But if they say, “Yes,” take their hand
Lead them out on the dance floor
Listen to the music play
Open up your whole heart

And dance
Dance with a stranger
’Til they’re not a stranger anymore
You just dance
Dance with a stranger
’Til they’re not a stranger, not a stranger anymore

Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new
And then take them by the hand
And say you understand

Look around the room
There are so many people here like you
People who came here to be together
And dance it all away
Who wanna be good and love one another
And have big dreams or hard times, and like to dance
Look around the room
Find somebody you’ve never seen before
And lead them out to the dance floor

And dance
Dance with a stranger
’Til they’re not a stranger anymore
You just dance
Dance with a stranger
’Til they’re not a stranger, not a stranger anymore

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new
And then take them by the hand
And say you understand

Oh dance
Dance with a stranger
’Til they’re not a stranger anymore
You just dance
Dance with a stranger
’Til they’re not a stranger, not a stranger anymore

Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new (Oh yeah)
And then take them by the hand (Oh)
And say you understand
Left, right, front, side (Mmm)
Find somebody new
And then take them by the hand (not a stranger)
And say you understand
Left, right, front, side
Find somebody new
And then take them by the hand
And say you understand
