Lyrics

Dancing With Strangers

[Verse 1]

Talking loudly

Over the beat

They think they know me

They don't know a thing

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll call you up, drunk again

'Cause I can't get you out of my head

[Chorus]

Dancing with strangers at parties

Used to be fun, but now

Dancing with strangers at parties

Makes me feel numb

[Verse 2]

I drink champagne

To drown out these thoughts

But I can't think straight

You're all that I want

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll call you up, drunk again

'Cause I can't get you out of my head

[Chorus]

Dancing with strangers at parties

Used to be fun, but now

Dancing with strangers at parties

Makes me feel numb

[Bridge]

The room is spinning

You're not in it

I'm so hung up on you

The music's playing

I can't hear it

I'm running home to you

[Chorus]

Dancing with strangers at parties

Used to be fun, but now

Dancing with strangers at parties

Makes me feel numb

X2

Dancing with strangers at parties

Dancing with strangers at parties
