Dance Little Sister Lyrics by Terence Trent Darby

Dance Little Sister

Get up outta your rockin' chair
grandma!
Or rather would you care to dance
grandmother?

Hey you ! Give up the ghost that's haunting you now.
Shout it out! Don't let it stay inside and eat you alive.
Make up your mind

don't you want to stay this side of the line?
I can assure you when you're my age
You'll learn from all you've left behind.

You've got to dance
Iittle sister

Don't give up today
hang on till tomorrow

I don't wanna hear you're late.
You've got to dance
little sister

Don't give up today
hang on till tomorrow

Don't give up your stay.

Say say say now
share the weight and lay your cross down.
And let the long reaching arm of hope bring yau around.
It ain't easy but giving up is the easy thing to do.
Time is on your side
would you just watch the clock
And let it tick for you?
You've got to dance
little sister
. . .

You've got to dance
little sister
. . .
