"Dancing Alone" lyrics

When I look around the room I see
Ten thousand reasons not to speak
I know you know exactly what I mean
Cause we both know it takes one to know one

With friends like this, who needs enemies?
Cause we both know you didn't want to go out
So you just suck it up and tough it out and put on a smile for awhile
And you'd rather be dancing on your own
Dancing alone
I know you'd rather be dancing on your own
Dancing alone
I know you'd rather be dancing on your own

I know you'd rather be at home
Where you can drop the act and let yourself go
I know you like the quiet
But you can't keep on getting dressed up with no place to go

With friends like this, who needs enemies?
Cause we both know you didn't want to go out
So you just suck it up and tough it out and put on a show
And we both know you'd rather be dancing on your own
Dancing alone
I know you'd rather be dancing on your own
Dancing alone
I know you'd rather be dancing on your own
I know you'd rather be at home
Dancing on your own
I know you didn't want to go out
You'd rather be
Dancing alone

With the devil you know and not the devil outside your window
Cause you've been burned a few too many times before
And we both know you'd rather be dancing on your own

On your own (dancing on your own)
Oh, on your own (dancing on your own)
With the devil you know and not the devil outside your window
Cause you've been burned a few too many times before
And we both know you'd rather be dancing on your own
