  • Somebody said you got a new friend
    Does she love you better than I can?
    And there's a big black sky over my town
    I know where you're at, I bet she's around

    And yeah, I know it's stupid
    But 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
    And I'm giving it my all
    I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
    I keep dancing on my own, ah

    I just wanna dance all night
    And I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line, yeah
    Stilettos and broken bottles
    I'm spinning around in circles
    And I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
    And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh
    And I'm giving it my all
    But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
    I keep dancing on my own
    And oh, nah

    So far away but still so near
    The lights come on, 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
    And I'm giving it my all
    But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
    I keep dancing on my own
    And oh, nah
    Said, I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh no
    And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh no
    And I'm giving it my all
    But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
    I keep dancing on my own

    So far away, but still so near
    The lights come on, the music dies
    But you don't see me standing here Writer/s: Patrik Berger, Robin Carlsson
