[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, feeling myself
Hungover as hell like 2012, fuck it
"We get it that you've been through a lot of shit
But life's a bitch, so come on, shake your tits and fuck it"
What's a girl to do? What's a girl to do?

[Pre-Chorus]
"You're the party girl, you're the tragedy"
But the funny thing's I'm fucking everything

[Chorus]
Hey, I don't do that dance
Hey, I don't do that
Hey, I don't do that dance
I only do my own dance
Hey, I don't do that dance
Don't circumcise my circumstance
Hey, I don't do that dance
I only do my own dance

[Verse 2]
"So, the internet called and it wants you back
But could you kinda rap and not be so sad?" Fuck it
What's a girl to do? What's a girl to do?
Everybody, get out your nasty moves
So let's talk some shit and pour some booze, fuck it
What's a girl to do? Is this what you want? Fuck you

[Pre-Chorus]
"You're the party girl, you're the tragedy"
But the funny thing's I'm fucking everything

[Chorus]
Hey, I don't do that dance
Hey, I don't do that
Hey, I don't do that dance
I only do my own dance
Hey, I don't do that dance
Don't circumcise my circumstance
Hey, I don't do that dance
I only do my own dance

[Bridge]
I don't owe 'em nothing, maybe I owe everything
Grateful for the lovers and even the haters
I feel like I'm nothing; somedays, I am everything
Caught up in my feelings; bitch, shut up and sing
Ooh

[Chorus]
Hey, I don't do that dance
Hey, I don't do that (No)
Hey, I don't do that dance
I only do my own dance
Hey, I don't do that dance
Don't circumcise my circumstance
Hey, I don't do that dance
I only do my own dance
Hey, I don't do that dance (I don't do that dance)
Hey, I don't do that (Do that, do that)
Hey, I don't do that dance (I don't do that dance)
I only do my own dance
Hey, I don't do that dance (I don't do that dance)
Don't circumcise my circumstance
Hey, I don't do that dance (I don't do that dance)
I only do my own dance

Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
