So just the other day
You tell me, tell me what to say
You disagree with every little thing
But I, I don't care

So I should live my life
Like you, I should behave just right
Would I be happier then?
Well I don't think so

And you can't quite see what it is
What it is that gets me, that gets me
And you don't quite know what it is
What it is that kills me, that thrills me

I'll never be your dancing queen
(Your dancing queen)

I'm going out tonight
And I don't care if I start a fight
And I won't wear what you say is right
And I, I, I don't think so
I'm going out to see
My friends 'cause we've got empathy
And they won't tell me just who to be
And I, I, I don't think so

Walk like this, talk like this
Wear my hair the way you wish
Look at you, look at me now
Walk like this, talk like this
Kiss the boy I wanna kiss
Be like you? I don't think so

So you listen to my songs
You tell me, tell me they're all wrong
You might be right, you might be right
But I, I don't care

You say I should get skinny and dance
Wear a bikini the best I can
You think you know
But I don't think so

I'll never be your dancing queen
(Your dancing queen)

I'm going out tonight
And I don't care if I start a fight
And I won't wear what you say is right
And I, I, I don't think so
I'm going out to see
My friends 'cause we've got empathy
And they won't tell me just who to be
And I, I, I don't think so

Walk like this, talk like this
Wear my hair the way you wish
Look at you, look at me now
Walk like this, talk like this
Kiss the boy I wanna kiss
Be like you? I don't think so
