[Verse 1]
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
We can go where we want to
A place that they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
Leave the real one far behind

[Verse 2]
We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat, from our hats to our feet
And surprise them with a victory cry
We can act if we want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile
I can act like an imbecile

[Chorus]
And we can dance (We can dance)
Everything is out of control (We can dance)
We can dance (We can dance)
They're doing it from pole to pole (We can dance)
We can dance (We can dance)
Everybody look at your hands (We can dance)
We can dance (We can dance)
Everybody's takin' the chance (We can dance)
It's safe to dance
It's safe to dance

[Verse 3]
We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything will work out right
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
No friends of mine

[Chorus]
And we can dance (We can dance)
Everything is out of control (We can dance)
We can dance (We can dance)
They're doing it from pole to pole (We can dance)
We can dance (We can dance)
Everybody look at your hands (We can dance)
We can dance (We can dance)
Everybody's takin' the chance (We can dance)
It's safe to dance
It's safe to dance

[Outro]
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
No friends of mine
