You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Girl give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a toast
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm he came around like he
was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Or seem to care what your heart is for
I don't know him anymore
There's nothin' where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's goin' on
Nothing's fine i'm torn
I'm all out of faith this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor illusion never
Changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect
Sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune tellers right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and
Now I don't care,
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch
I'm torn
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's goin' on
Nothing's right I'm torn
We were good we were gold
Kind of dream that can't be sold
We were right 'til we weren't
Built a home and watched it burn
Mmm I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't wanna lie
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than you can
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Paint my nails cherry red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse no regret
I forget every word you said
Ooh I didn't wanna leave baby
I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in sand
Talk to myself for hours yeah
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than you can
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better ooh I
I didn't wanna leave you I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (Uh huh)
Write my name in the sand (Ooh mmm)
Talk to myself for hours (Yeah)
Say things you don't understand
(Better than you)
I can take myself dancing (Yeah)
I can hold my own hand
Yeah I can love me better than
Yeah I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better baby (Uh)
Can love me better
I can love me better baby (Than you can)
Can love me better I can love me better baby
Can love me better I
SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO BE A WOMAN
GIVING ALL YOUR LOVE TO JUST ONE MAN
YOU'LL HAVE BAD TIMES
AND HE'LL HAVE GOOD TIMES
DOIN' THINGS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
BUT IF YOU LOVE HIM YOU'LL FORGIVE HIM
EVEN THOUGH HE'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND
AND IF YOU LOVE HIM OH BE PROUD OF HIM
'CAUSE AFTER ALL HE'S JUST A MAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
GIVE HIM TWO ARMS TO CLING TO
AND SOMETHING WARM TO COME TO
WHEN NIGHTS ARE COLD AND LONELY
STAND BY YOUR MAN,
AND SHOW THE WORLD YOU LOVE HIM
KEEP GIVING ALL THE LOVE YOU CAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
AND SHOW THE WORLD YOU LOVE HIM
KEEP GIVING ALL THE LOVE YOU CAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
Oh
Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She’s so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don’t see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops
and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
her lips her lips
I could kiss them all day if she’d let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops
and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops
and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
