Dancing On My Own

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Somebody said you got a new friend

Does she love you better than I can?

There's a big black sky over my town

I know where you're at, I bet she's around

And yeah, I know it's stupid

But I just gotta see it for myself

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh oh oh

I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh oh oh

And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh

I keep dancing on my own

I'm just wanna dance all night

And I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line, yeah

Stilettos and broken bottles

I'm spinning around in circles

And 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 guy you're taking home, ooh

I keep dancing on my own

And oh no

So far away but still so near

The lights come up, the music dies

But you don't see me standing here

I just came to say goodbye

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh

And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh

I keep dancing on my own

And oh no

Sit down in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh no

And I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh no

And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh

I keep dancing on my own

So far away, but still so near

The lights come up, the music dies

But you don't see me standing here
