Dance By Myself
You're out at the bar
You're looking oh so good
Feeling like a star
Just like you knew you would
A night with the girls
Just looking to have some fun
And then he walks up to you
You know you've gotta run
Why won't they stay away
Put on a short skirt, can't keep 'em at bay
Try to tell a lie, don't wanna be rude
But they don't have a clue
The music is loud
You're tearing up the dance floor
Your friends are so proud
Never danced like this before
He squeezes right in
You tell him you're not the one
He gives you that creepy grin
You know you gotta run
Why won't they stay away
See you dancing, think that it's ok
Try to make a move, you're not in the mood
But they don't have a clue
I'm not tryna go home with a stranger
I didn't come here for nobody else, oh no
And tell me what will help you get the picture
I just wanna dance all by myself, alone
Drink number two (Drink number two)
Your body is really groovin'
He's all over you (All over you)
How can you make him lose it
His hands on your waist (Hands on your waist)
Oh you're gonna let him know
You get all up in his face
You know he's gotta go
Why can't they ever see
Just having fun here, keep away from me
Not tryna give you a kiss, not tryna give you a call
But they don't know at all
He's finally gone (Finally gone)
He's finally let you be (Let you be)
His time to move on (Time to move on)
Now you can dance all free (Dance all free)
All in your space
Does he understand the word no
Yeah you put him in his place
You knew he had to go
Why can't they ever see
Try to be smooth, end up just creepy
Try to make a move, you're not in the mood
But they don't have a clue
I'm not tryna go home with a stranger
I didn't come here for nobody else, oh no
And tell me what will help you get the picture
I just wanna dance all by myself, alone
I wish this could be chill
I wish we could be friends
Just came to dance all night
And have fun in the end
As girls we all have things
That we can't give to you
Wish you could understand
Wish you could get a clue
Not tryna start a fight
Not tryna make a fuss
If you see trouble boy
Then come look out for us
I think that I can say
That we can all agree
To help protect our girls
So we can all live free
I'm not tryna go home with a stranger
I didn't come here for nobody else, oh no
And please, please help to keep us out of danger
I just wanna dance all by myself, alone
You're looking oh so good
Feeling like a star
Just like you knew you would
A night with the girls
Just looking to have some fun
And then he walks up to you
You know you've gotta run
Why won't they stay away
Put on a short skirt, can't keep 'em at bay
Try to tell a lie, don't wanna be rude
But they don't have a clue
