Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
Standing in the mirror, my own reflection stares
Nobody in this apartment but the silence and the chairs
Turn the record louder till the speakers start to shake
I don't need a partner for the moves that I make
[verse]
Every crowded party leaves me feeling kind of lost
So I built my own dance floor, I don't count the cost
Four walls and a stereo, that's all I really need
I'm the only company that my rhythm has to feed
[chorus]
I'm dancing with myself, oh, dancing with myself
Nobody else beside me, just my heartbeat and myself
I'm dancing with myself, spinning round the room
I don't need a crowd, I've got my own private groove
[verse]
Some nights are lonely, some nights feel like a test
But the music never leaves me, the rhythm knows me best
I don't need a hand to hold to feel this kind of free
Just a little space and the beat that lives in me
[chorus]
I'm dancing with myself, oh, dancing with myself
Nobody else beside me, just my heartbeat and myself
I'm dancing with myself, spinning round the room
I don't need a crowd, I've got my own private groove
[bridge]
Maybe someday somebody will come and share the floor
But until that moment I don't need anybody more
I'll keep the record spinning, keep the rhythm strong
Dancing on my own is where I still belong
[chorus]
I'm dancing with myself, oh, dancing with myself
Nobody else beside me, just my heartbeat and myself
I'm dancing with myself, spinning round the room
I don't need a crowd, I've got my own private groove

Standing in the mirror, my own reflection stares
Nobody in this apartment but the silence and the chairs
Turn the record louder till the speakers start to shake
I don't need a partner for the moves that I make

Every crowded party leaves me feeling kind of lost
So I built my own dance floor, I don't count the cost
Four walls and a stereo, that's all I really need
I'm the only company that my rhythm has to feed

I'm dancing with myself, oh, dancing with myself
Nobody else beside me, just my heartbeat and myself
I'm dancing with myself, spinning round the room

Some nights are lonely, some nights feel like a test
But the music never leaves me, the rhythm knows me best
I don't need a hand to hold to feel this kind of free
Just a little space and the beat that lives in me

[chorus]
I'm dancing with myself, oh, dancing with myself
Nobody else beside me, just my heartbeat and myself

Nobody else beside me, just my heartbeat and myself
