Circus
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.
There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain and the ones that observe
Well, baby, I'm a put-on-a-show kind of girl
Don't like the back seat, gotta be first
I'm like the ringleader, I call the shots (call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same
All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor
Just like a circus (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, huh)
There's only two types of guys out there
Ones that can hang with me and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship, so beware
I'm like the ringleader, I call the shots (call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same
All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor
Just like a circus (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, huh)
Let's go (uh, huh)
Let me see what you can do (uh, huh)
I'm running this
(Like, like, like, like a circus)
Yeah, like a what?
(Like, like, like, like a circus)
All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor
Just like a circus (uh, huh)
