The politics of dancing [There are rules to the Soulmates Marriage Game.]
The politics of, ooh, feeling good [There are rules that both spouses need to play by to obtain Sustainable Joy and Attraction within marriage]
The politics of moving, aha [Marriage is like a dance. Both spouses need to move and work together in balance, not only romantically as this song implies but in their responsibilities and commitments to each other, to God, and to their children.]
Is this message understood? [That's what I'm asking!]
We're under pressure [Yes, because there are rules. There is a challenge involved. Mercy does not rob Justice (Alma 42:25).]
Yes we're counting on you [Sustainable love is about keeping commitments.]
It's not what you say [We don't just make commitments...]
Is what you do [We also keep them.]
...
Oh, the application [We don't just make a one time marriage commitment and that's it. Nothing sustainable is going to come from that. We need to apply that overall commitment to our daily commitments in our thoughts, words, and actions when people are watching and when they are not watching. That's the application of love. That's the politics of dancing.]
...
Well you know you can't stop it
When they start to play [We can't make attraction to our spouse happen just by willing it. We have to play by the rules. Sustainable Attraction is an ongoing effect that occurs when we stay balanced with God and our spouse.]
You gotta get out the way [Seriously, we don't want to mess with God, the Father and his Justice. We don't want to take his Son's name (Mercy) in vain either (Exodus 20:7).]
