Late Friday night
We were down in midtown
Quarter to five
It was time to head home
When a girl walks in
And my best friend grins
And he tells me he's got to get her on the dance floor
But he walks on up
And he chickens out
So, I told him something
Yeah, I told him something
You may only meet your one just once
Don't leave your dream down in the dust
Get your courage up my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Don't spend your lifetime looking back
At all the chances that you had
Get your courage up my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Woah
Woah
Go ask that pretty girl,
Ask that pretty girl to dance
♪
I grabbed my keys
And I start through the crowd
About to leave when the music settles down
But that girl walks by
And she cracks a smile
So, I tell him I'm going to get her on the dance floor
As I take her hand and we start to dance
I realize something
Yeah, I realize something
You may only meet your one just once
Don't leave your dream down in the dust
Get your courage up my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Don't spend your lifetime looking back
At all the chances that you had
Get your courage up my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Woah
Woah
Go ask that pretty girl
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Woah
Woah
Go ask that pretty girl
Ask that pretty girl to dance
So I know it stands to reason
That she's probably not the one
I like to think that stupid love's for everyone
So, gentlemen come on and give yourself a chance
Go ask that pretty girl to dance
