  • Mmm yeah
    Mmm

    Well since we been done
    I've been trying to un-fall apart
    And I've been thinking that some neon lights
    Would be a real good start
    Well I called a couple friends
    But they all say they're staying in
    So I guess i'm going out on my own
    I might be heart broke
    But that don't mean that i'm gonna stay home, yeah

    I can buy my own drinks
    I can pay my own tab
    At the end of the night when they cut on all the lights
    I can call my own cab
    I can drop my own change in the jukebox
    I can dance all by myself
    'Til I can stop thinkin' 'bout drinkin' 'bout him
    I don't need nobody else
    Yeah I can buy my own drinks
    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
    Yeah I can buy my own drinks
    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)

    I found myself a dive
    The type he would never walk in
    Then a guy at the bar sees an empty drink in my hand
    I said sweet of you to ask if you could fill my glass
    But I'm gonna have to pass this time
    Me and myself, well we're doing just fine

    I can buy my own drinks
    I can pay my own tab
    And at the end of the night when they cut on all the lights
    I can call my own cab
    I can drop my own change in the jukebox
    I can dance all by myself
    'Til I can stop thinkin' 'bout drinkin' 'bout him
    I don't need nobody else
    Yeah I can buy my own drinks
    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
    Yeah I can buy my own drinks
    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)

    I can walk my own self to the front door
    I can take my own self to bed
    I can medicate my own headache
    I can be my own boyfriend

    I can buy my own drinks
    I can pay my own tab
    At the end of the night when they cut on all the lights
    I can call my own cab
    I can drop my own change in the jukebox
    I can dance all by myself
    'Til I can stop thinkin' 'bout drinkin' 'bout him
    I don't need nobody else
    Yeah I can buy my own drinks
    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
    Yeah I can buy my own drinks
    (Tonight, tonight, tonight)

    I can drop my own change in the jukebox
    I can dance all by myself (tonight, tonight, tonight) Writer/s: Hannah Mullholland, Hillary Lindsey, Jennifer Wayne, Josh Kear, Naomi Cooke
