My daddy told me when I was a young girl 
A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago 
If you want to have someone to hold onto 
You're gonna have to learn to let go 
You got to sing like you don't need the money 
Love like you'll never get hurt 
You got to dance like nobody's watchin' 
It's gotta come from the heart 
If you want it to work 
Now here is the one thing I keep forgettin' 
When everything is falling apart 
In life as in love, you know I need to remember 
There's such a thing as trying too hard 
You got to sing like you don't need the money 
Love like you'll never get hurt 
You got to dance like nobody's watchin' 
It's gotta come from the heart 
If you want it to work 
You got to sing sometimes like you don't need the money 
Love sometimes like you'll never get hurt 
You got to dance, dance, dance like nobody's watchin' 
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
