[Verse 1]
Went out on a date without telling my dad,
Now he's mad at me and I could be sad.
But it could always be worse,
I keep telling myself,
So I dance with my problems
And grab my purse off the shelf.
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days come crashing
Like a runaway train,
Some days bring sunshine,
Some days bring rain.
But when life starts laughing
And nothing goes right,
I turn up the music
And step into the night.
[Chorus]
Yeah, I dance with my problems
And put them down in verse.
I dance with my problems
'Cause they could always be worse.
If life throws me trouble,
Well, I know what to do—
I put on my dancing shoes
And dance my way through.
[Verse 2]
I drive to the mall
Just looking for a dress,
Somebody hits my car
And now it's kind of a mess.
It could always be worse,
I keep telling myself,
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days come crashing
Like a runaway train,
Some days bring sunshine,
Some days bring rain.
But when life starts laughing
And nothing goes right,
I turn up the music
And step into the night.
[Chorus]
So I dance with my problems
Like an elf on the shelf!
Yeah, I dance with my problems
And put them down in verse.
I keep dancing with my problems
'Cause they could always be worse.
Verse 3
I spill my coffee on my brand-new shirt,
Miss the bus and make myself late for work.
Then my phone falls down and the screen goes black,
I turn around and there's a flat tire in the back.
It could always be worse,
I keep telling myself,
So I laugh at my luck
And put my worries on the shelf.
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days come crashing
Like a runaway train,
Some days bring sunshine,
Some days bring rain.
But when life starts laughing
And nothing goes right,
I turn up the music
And step into the night.
[Chorus]
So I dance with my problems,
Yeah, I dance with my blues.
They may be my problems,
But I get to choose
Whether I let them knock me down
Or make me sing this song.
So dance with your problems—
And dance right along!
[Verse 4]
Dancing with my problems
Doesn't make them go away,
But somehow they become my friends
And get me through the day.
They may follow me around,
But I don't have to run—
If I've gotta have problems,
I might as well have fun!
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days come crashing
Like a runaway train,
Some days bring sunshine,
Some days bring rain.
But when life starts laughing
And nothing goes right,
I turn up the music
And step into the night.
[Chorus]
So I dance with my problems,
Yeah, I dance with my blues.
They may be my problems,
But I get to choose
Whether I let them knock me down
Or make me sing this song.
So dance with your problems—
And dance right along!
