She's all alone until the music plays
In a crowded room, she keeps her space
She hides the pain behind the moves she makes
Know she came alone, she'll leave that way

She's a lonely dancer
She don't want, she don't want
she don't want, she don't want no stranger
She's a lonely dancer
She don't want, she don't want
she don't want no one to change her
She's a lonely dancer
Lonely dancer
She's a lonely dancer

She knows the lyrics, she knows every line
But she's dancing with tears in her eyes
She hides the feelings under flashing lights
I might never know the reason why

Oh, she's free for a minute, so lost up in it
But she needs to be spinning to be alright

She's a lonely dancer
She don't want, she don't want
she don't want, she don't want no stranger
She's a lonely dancer
She don't want, she don't want
she don't want no one to change her
She's a lonely dancer
Lonely dancer
She's a lonely dancer

(Hey)

She's a lonely, lonely dancer (She's alone)
No, we'll never know the answer, hey (What she knows)
She's a lonely, lonely dancer
Only wants to dance on her own (On her own)
(Nobody, nobody knows)
(No, no)
