Dancing on My Own Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somebody said you got a new friend
But does she love you better than I can?
And there's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at I bet she's around
Oh, and yeah I know it's stupid, but I just gotta see it for myself
[Chorus]
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me? oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
[Verse 2]
I just wanna dance all night
And I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line, yeah
Stilettos on broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
[Chorus]
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh oh oh
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
Somebody said you got a new friend
But does she love you better than I can?
And there's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at I bet she's around
Oh, and yeah I know it's stupid, but I just gotta see it for myself
[Chorus]
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me? oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
[Verse 2]
I just wanna dance all night
And I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line, yeah
Stilettos on broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
[Chorus]
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh oh oh
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
[Bridge]
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye
[Chorus]
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, taking home
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye
[Chorus]
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, taking home
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own
