Billy Idol

[Verse 1]
On the floors of Tokyo-o
Or down in London towns a go-go
With the record selection and the mirror's reflection
I'm a-dancing with myself
When there's no-one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well, I wait so long for my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

[Chorus]
Dancing with myself
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
When there's nothing to lose, and there's nothing to prove
And I'm dancing with myself, oh, oh, uh-oh

[Verse 2]
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
And 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

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself, oh, oh, uh-oh Yeah!

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, uh-oh
Oh, oh, uh-oh
Oh, uh-uh, oh, wow!

Dance
Dance

[Verse 3]
Well, I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
And 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

[Chorus 2]
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, ow!

Oh, oh, uh-oh (Ow!)
Oh, oh, uh-oh (Woo!)
Oh, oh, uh-oh (Yeah!)
Oh, oh, uh-oh

Oh, oh, uh-oh
Oh, oh, uh-oh
Oh, oh, uh-oh
Yeah!

[Verse 4]
Well, I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
And 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

[Chorus 2]
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, ow!

Oh, oh, uh-oh (Yeah!)
Oh, oh, uh-oh (Yeah!)
Oh, oh, uh-oh (Yeah!)
Oh, oh, uh-oh (Yeah)

Ah, man, it's all wet
Yeah, I wanna sweat
Sweat
I wanna sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
Sweat sweat ow!

Dancing with myself
I'm dancing with myself
Myself, myself
I'm all [?]
