"25" lyrics

Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

It's funny to think by the time I turn twenty
I'd give all I got to someone I don't know
Now I'm twenty-five, I watch my friends get married
I say I'm okay slow dancing on my own

I'm always on the outside of an inside joke
And I never seem to know where the punchline goes

Oh, I'm in between
Crying and listening to "Dancing Queen"
Trying to act like I don't need
Someone to hold me close
When I'm scared to be alone

Don't want to show up to the party
With someone who doesn't like to dance (No, no, no)
This song's too short to hold just anybody
No, I don't want to leave it up to chance, mm, no

'Cause I'm always on the outside of an inside joke
And I never seem to know where the punchline goes

Oh, I'm in between
Crying and listening to "Dancing Queen"
Trying to act like I don't need
Someone to hold me close (Oh)
But I'm not eighteen
Don't have to live my teenage dream
With someone swinging to a different beat
So turn off the stereo
'Cause I'd rather be alone

(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Oh, I'd rather be alone (No, no, no, no, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Oh, I'd rather be alone (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Rather be alone (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

But I'm not eighteen
Don't have to live my teenage dream (Don't have to)
With someone swinging to a different beat
So turn off the stereo
'Cause I'd rather be alone
