Whoa, whoa, whoa
Mr. Clef, yeah
With Mr. Jimmy Cliff
We on a Caribbean island
Girl, I'm gonna start the dancing
'Cause you're too pretty to be standing there crying
That's when she told me that she caught her man cheating
That ain't no reason for you to stop breathing
'Cause, mama always told me there'd be days like this
So my advice is don't think twice
Live your life and everything will be alright
(So dance) Even if you don't feel sexy
(Dance) Know that you're always pretty
(Dance) Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the sexiest of them all?
(Dance) Hold your head up, child
(Dance) Don't let nobody tell you
(Dance) What you can or cannot do
Because the world belongs to you
Now I know that you feel me
'Cause everybody got the same old story
I fell in love with a girl named Annie
She broke my heart in Kingston City
Well, mama always told me there'd be days like this
So my advice is don't think twice
Live your life and everything will be alright
(So dance) Even if you don't feel sexy
(Dance) Know that you're always pretty
(Dance) Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the sexiest of them all?
(Dance) Hold your head up, child
(Dance) Don't let nobody tell you
(Dance) What you can or cannot do
Because the world belongs to you
(So dance) Even if you don't feel sexy
(Dance) Know that you're always pretty
(Dance) Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the sexiest of them all?
(Dance) Hold your head up, child
(Dance) Don't let nobody tell you
(Dance) What you can or cannot do
Because the world belongs to you
Why does what feels so good hurt so bad?
Why does what makes me happy makes me sad?
I want a life with no surprise
Just look into my eyes and realize
You and I are one tonight
(Refugee for life, Jimmy, yo, yo)
I used to dance, Jimmy, when I lived in the jungle
Yeah, so poor, I ain't had the bike, I had the pedal
Full throttle when I used to steal a moped
My principal said at seventeen I'd be dead
With a hole in my head, but I danced through the bullets
If you wanna know how I made it, I got the ghetto spirit
I gotta dance, you thought I'd be another statistic
Body found in the attic, wrapped up in plastic
I ain't part of a gang, but I love the Crip dance
Yeah, better to dance than a gun in my pants
Talk about nobody move and nobody get hurt
Shoot the sequel to The Harder They Come, they leave you in the dirt
(So dance) Even if you don't feel sexy
(Dance) Know that you're always pretty
(Dance) Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the sexiest of them all?
(Dance) Hold your head up, child
(Dance) Don't let nobody tell you
(Dance) What you can or cannot do
Because the world belongs to you
(So dance) Even if you don't feel sexy
(Dance) Know that you're always pretty
(Dance) Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the sexiest of them all?
(Dance) Hold your head up, child
(Dance) Don't let nobody tell you
(Dance) What you can or cannot do
Because the world belongs to you
(So dance) Even if you don't feel sexy
(Dance) Know that you're always pretty
(Dance) Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the sexiest of them all?
(Dance) Hold your head up, child
(Dance) Don't let nobody tell you
(Dance) What you can or cannot do
Because the world belongs to you
Hey, hey, hey
