My daddy told me When I was a young man a lesson he learned 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 watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
[Mandolin]
Now here is the one thing that I keep forgettin' when everything is falling apart
In life as in love what I need to remember there's such a thing as trying too hard
You got to sing like you don't need the money

You got to sing like you don't need the money love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance dance dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
