"Dancing on My Own" lyrics

I do not want your sympathy
I do not want your energy
I do not want it, oh
You're coming on too forcefully
You're clashing with my melody
Quit stepping on it

Hey, Mr. DJ, would you take me to a place I can escape?
He tries to hold me, move me, touch me as I sway

But I'd rather be dancing on my own
Just leave me here alone
Under the lights, all day, all night, I'd rather
Dance here on my own
Me and my microphone
I don't care if they stop and stare, I'd rather
Dance here on my own
Just leave me here alone
Under the lights, all day, all night, I'd rather
Dance here on my own
Me and my microphone
I don't care if they stop and stare, I'd rather
Dance, dance
I'd rather
Dance, dance
I'd rather
Dance, dance
I'd rather dance

I've tried and tried to justify
But I'm done with all this compromise
It's weighing on me, oh
My dress is on, my heels are high
I'm choosing me, myself and I
Don't need your body

Hey, Mr. DJ, would you take me to a place I can escape?
Don't try to hold me, move me, touch me as I sway

'Cause I'd rather be
Dancing on my own
Just leave me here alone
Under the lights, all day, all night, I'd rather
Dance here on my own
Me and my microphone
I don't care if they stop and stare, I'd rather
Dance here on my own
Just leave me here alone
Under the lights, all day, all night, I'd rather
Dance here on my own
Me and my microphone
I don't care if they stop and stare, I'd rather
Dance

I wanna dance here on my own
All alone
I'd rather
I wanna dance here on my own
All alone

Dancing on my own
Just leave me here alone
I wanna dance wanna dance wanna dance
Here on my own, on my own
Dancing on my own
Just leave me here alone
I wanna dance, wanna dance, wanna dance
Here on my own, on my own
Dancing on my own
Just leave me here alone
I wanna dance, wanna dance, wanna dance
Here on my own, on my own
