[Verse 1]
On a boulevard in Paris
I met a good old friend of mine
"Come on over to my place
Bring yourself and a bottle of wine"
So I put on my leathers
And I tried to look my best
But I was apprehensive
I noticed I was the only guest
[Chorus]
It was then I witnessed
Something I'd never seen
Some satisfaction
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Listen
[Verse 2]
There's a white house in Georgia
Down the Mason-Dixon line
They got Kentucky Derby winners there
They got a Lear jet parked outside
Yeah but every Friday weekend
When the big tom cat's away
You'll find the plantation shakin'
By the butler and the upstairs maid
[Chorus]
Don't need no money, diamonds or Cadillacs
To get all the satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Don't you worry
Bout the problems of the human race
Get some satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone, baby
Listen to this
[Verse 3]
At a hot spot in Texas
On an endless Friday night
I was listenin' to Waylon and Willie
When a cowgirl passed my sights
And I took a look in the mirror
To make sure that my head was screwed on
I was feeling rejected
But I wasn't going home
In a moment of a rash decision
I threw myself right on the floor
I did a backflip and somersault
Yeah, the crowd called for more
[Chorus]
So if you're tired of watching
Being left on the shelf
Get your satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone baby
On a boulevard in Paris
I met a good old friend of mine
"Come on over to my place
Bring yourself and a bottle of wine"
So I put on my leathers
And I tried to look my best
But I was apprehensive
I noticed I was the only guest
[Chorus]
It was then I witnessed
Something I'd never seen
Some satisfaction
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Listen
[Verse 2]
There's a white house in Georgia

They got a Lear jet parked outside

Don't need no money, diamonds or Cadillacs
To get all the satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
