Dancing on My Own (cover) Lyrics

Somebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
There's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at, I bet she's around
Yeah I know it's stupid
I just gotta see it for myself

I'm in the corner,
Watching you kiss her, oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me, oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own

I'm just gonna dance all night
I'm all messed up, I'm so outta line
Stilettos on broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles

I'm in the corner,
Watching you kiss her, oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me, oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own

So far away, still so near
The lights go off, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye

I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her, oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own,
I keep dancing on my own

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

She loved this guy, but he turned away and fell for someone else. She trying her hardest to get him to see her love, but, in the end, she's not the girl he picked. He is so close, but yet so far from her. All she wants is for him to love her the way she loves him, but it won't happen.
