Part of My Dance by Tess Henley Lyrics
I stepped out into the street
And my feet slipped out from under me
I thought that it was a dream
So I took a deep breath and counted to three
City dirt is all over me
I tore a hole in my brand new jeans
So I went ahead and ripped the right knee
And I strutted my stuff
And rocked them things like that’s how they were meant to be
(Chorus)
I
I might trip and stumble but
That ain’t gonna keep me from
Keep me from getting up
I
I might lose my stance
But that’s my chance
To make it part, part of my dance
Part of my dance, dance, dance
I kept a move past Pier 62
You were the only one in my view
On the dock everyday with your crew
Oooh, you’re the finest thing I ever knew
I saw you look and my heart almost flew
You waved and smiled, and I waved back at you
Then the corner barista girl, she waved too
So I ran my fingers through my hair
And I played it cool
(Chorus)
I
I might trip and stumble but
That ain’t gonna keep me from
Keep me from getting up
I
I might lose my stance
But that’s my chance
To make it part
(Bridge)
And I know
No one wants to make mistakes
And some of us can’t seem to get it right
But I know
We all gonna have our days
And if it isn’t mine I’ll still be looking for that light
(I'll still be looking for that light if I don't get it right)
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh you gotta make it part
Part of my dance
Hoo, that's what I say hey
I'm gonna make it
Yeah yeah yeah
To make it part, part of my dance
And my feet slipped out from under me
I thought that it was a dream
So I took a deep breath and counted to three
City dirt is all over me
I tore a hole in my brand new jeans
So I went ahead and ripped the right knee
And I strutted my stuff
And rocked them things like that’s how they were meant to be
(Chorus)
I
I might trip and stumble but
That ain’t gonna keep me from
Keep me from getting up
I
I might lose my stance
But that’s my chance
To make it part, part of my dance
Part of my dance, dance, dance
I kept a move past Pier 62
You were the only one in my view
On the dock everyday with your crew
Oooh, you’re the finest thing I ever knew
I saw you look and my heart almost flew
You waved and smiled, and I waved back at you
Then the corner barista girl, she waved too
So I ran my fingers through my hair
And I played it cool
(Chorus)
I
I might trip and stumble but
That ain’t gonna keep me from
Keep me from getting up
I
I might lose my stance
But that’s my chance
To make it part
(Bridge)
And I know
No one wants to make mistakes
And some of us can’t seem to get it right
But I know
We all gonna have our days
And if it isn’t mine I’ll still be looking for that light
(I'll still be looking for that light if I don't get it right)
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh you gotta make it part
Part of my dance
Hoo, that's what I say hey
I'm gonna make it
Yeah yeah yeah
To make it part, part of my dance
