I took my baby to dance tonight.
And when we danced, I held her oh so tight.
Then she wanted candy from the candy store.
When I returned I saw her on the dancing floor.

Stop the music, before she breaks my heart in two.
Stop the music, there's something I've gotta do.
I've gotta tell her just how much she means to me.
Stop the music, oh maestro can't you see?

Stop the music, she's dancing with another guy.
Stop the music, so I can ask her why
she couldn't wait for just another minute more.
'Cause she stepped with someone else up to the floor.

He may be dancing far away from me.
To let her go, what a fool I've been.
His arms are holding her instead of mine.
By the look upon her face it seems so fine.

Stop the music, before she breaks my heart in two.
Stop the music, there's something I've gotta do.
I've gotta tell her oh just how much she means to me.
Stop the music, oh maestro can't you see?
