Lyrics

Dancing In The Kitchen

[Verse 1]

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

We're starting from the start

[Pre-Chorus]

And as they went to bed

And as the sun set

[Chorus]

I put my headphones in, start to spin

Wanting 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 the kitchen at night

[Verse 2]

People say only stars go to Hollywood

Get a life, get a job, get some motherhood

And that kinda broke my heart

Brother said, "You're a tiger that's gonna roar"

Whatcha hiding the fire in your soul for?

And that really hit me hard

[Pre-Chorus]

As they went to bed

And as the sun set

[Chorus]

I 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 the kitchen at night

When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night

[Bridge]

Splinters left from the hardwood floor

Well, I couldn't love them more

I carry the scars wherever I go

[2:05? Winters??] washing above my hair

[But I didn't know where to stand?]

But they were the best of all the moment

And if I could go back then

[Chorus]

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 the kitchen at night

When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

[Outro]

Dancing in the kitchen at night

I'm dancing in the kitchen at night
