You can dance, every dance with the guyWho gives you the eye, let him hold you tightYou can smile, every smile at the manWho held your hand ‘neath the pale moonlightBut don’t forget who’s takin’ you homeAnd in whose arms you’re gonna beOh darlin’, save the last dance for meOh, I know that the music’s fineLike sparklin’ wine, go and have your funLaugh and sing but while we’re apartDon’t give your heart to anyoneAnd don’t forget who’s takin’ you homeAnd in whose arms you’re gonna beOh darlin’, save the last dance for meBaby don’t you know I love you so?Can’t you feel it when we touch?I will never ever let you goOh, I love you, oh, so muchOh, you can dance, go and carry onTill the night is gone and it’s time to goIf he asks if you’re all aloneCan he take you home? You must tell him no‘Cause don’t forget who’s taking you homeAnd in whose arms you’re gonna beSo darlin’, save the last dance for meOh darlin’, save the last dance for meHmm darlin’, save the last dance for me
