Lyrics

You ready?
Ready
We're rolling
I wrote this song when I was one

On the floors of Tokyo
Or down in London town to go, go
With a record selection and a mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself

When there's no one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well, I've waited so long for my love vibration
I'm dancing with myself
I'm dancing with myself
I'm dancing with myself
When there's nothing to lose and there's nothing to prove
I'm dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
I'm dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
It would give me time to think
If I had the chance, I'd ask the whole world to dance
And I'd be dancing, dancing with my

Dancing with myself
I'm dancing with myself
When there's nothing to lose and there's nothing to prove
I'm dancing, dancing with myself

Oh, the world's all wet
I'm gonna sweat
Oh, the world's all wet
I'm gonna sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
Sweat, sweat, sweat
