You can dance every dance
With the guy who gave you the eye
Let him hold you tight

You can smile every smile
For 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

Yes I know, that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine
Go on 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
And I'll never, never let you go
I need you, oh so much

You can dance (you can dance)
Go on, carry on (go on, carry on)
Till the night is gone (till the night is gone)
And it's time to go (and it's time to go)

And if he asks
If you're all alone
And can he take you home
You must tell him no

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