Lyrics

[Verse 1]

On the floors of Tokyo

A down London town's a go-go

A with the record selection and the mirror'r reflection

I'm a dancing with myself

[Verse 2]

When there's no one else in sight

In crowded lonely night

Well I looked so long for my love vibration

And I'm dancing with myself

[Verse 3]

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

Oh, dancing with myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove, well

And I'm dancing with myself

[Verse 4]

If I looked all over the world

And at every type of girl

But your empty eyes seem to pass me by

And I'll be dancing with myself

[Verse 5]

So let's sink another drink

'Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

[Verse 6]

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove, well

Dancing with myself, oh, oh

[Verse 7]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes seem to pass me by

And leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink

'Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself

[Verse 8]

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

Oh, oh, dancing with myself, oh, oh

Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat

Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat

Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat

Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

Oh, oh, dancing with myself

With myself

Oh, oh, oh, oh
