"Dancing In The Kitchen" lyrics

Mama said it's the grit that makes the pearl
Hold your head up high, you're my girl
But I found it really hard
And Daddy said it's the songs that you're gonna sing
That'll change your world if you let 'em in
I was stubborn from the start

But as they went to bed
And as the sun set

I put my headphones in, start to spin
Wanted to leave this world behind
I turn Aretha up, don't give a fuck
If my neighbours hear me cry
When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night

People say only stars go to Hollywood
Get a life, get a job, get to motherhood
And that kinda broke my heart
Brother said, "You're a tiger that's gonna roar
What you hiding the fire in your soul for?"
And that really hit me hard

As they went to bed
And as the sun set

I put my headphones in, start to spin
Wanted to leave this world behind
I turn Aretha up, don't give a fuck
If my neighbours hear me cry
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night

Splinters left from the hardwood floor
Well, I couldn't love them more
I carry the scars wherever I go
Winters washing above my head
Well, I didn't notice then
But they were the best of all the moments
And if I could go back then

I'd put my headphones in, start to spin
Wanting to leave this world behind
Turn Aretha up, don't give a fuck
If my neighbours hear me cry
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Dancing in my kitchen at night
I'm dancing in my kitchen at night
