Dance my pain away, I got a problem
Dance my pain away, I got a problem
Like woah, woah

Now listen to my story, bill collectors on me,
Have to file bankruptcy, need some help from somebody,
Doctor bills are stacking up, I'm desperate to make a buck,
I played the lottery today, won't you please listen up!
I'm gonna dance my pain away, I've got a problem
Dance my pain away, I've got a problem,
Like woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah, (yea)
Woah, woah, (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
I'm gonna dance my pain away, I've got a problem
Dance my pain away, I've got a problem,
Like woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
I just got laid off today, whatcha think wifey will say,
I just have to hope and pray, rain, rain, go away,
The repo man just hit me, I can't get from a to b,
Fake friends around me, lord, wontcha help me!
Now I'm on my tippytoes, face down, eyes closed,
Dancing to this melody, so please, won't you sing a song?
I've gotta dance my pain away, I've got a problem
Dance my pain away, I've got a problem,
Like woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
I wanna dance my pain away, I've got a problem
Dance my pain away, I've got a problem,
Like woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
I wanna dance my pain away, I've got a problem
Dance my pain away, I've got a problem,
Like woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
Woah, woah (yea)
I wanna dance my pain away, I've got a problem
Dance my pain away, I've got a problem,
Like woah, woah (take your problems out on the dance floor)
Woah, woah
Woah, woah (and dance your problems away)
Woah, woah
I wanna dance my pain away, I've got a problem
Dance my pain away, I've got a problem,
Like woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
