So make the best of this dance, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but has a learning time

The story:

I heard it this way for ages (probably because of
his accent) and always sang it this way. Not a lot
of people I knew, paid much attention to the lyrics
of this song so didn't correct me.

Nothing wrong with these lyrics really, I mean, you
could learn something from a dance at some point
(depending on what happened during the dance).
