don't wanna dance
Elle Varner Lyrics

If it ain't my heart gettin' stepped on it's my feet
Not only am I dealing with emotional pain, but physical pain as well.

Ice cold as the champagne Charmaine keeps spilling on me
I feel numb and disconnected from this party, like the cold champagne that keeps spilling on me.

DJ playing all these love songs like I really need that
The love songs being played only remind me of what I don't have and what's been taken away from me.

And I'm about to get so messed up like I really need that
I'm tempted to drink my sorrows away, even though I know it won't solve anything.

Someone remind me
I'm lost and unsure of why I'm here.

Is this a party
I'm questioning if this is the kind of environment I need to be in right now.

Or what?
I'm not sure what to do or how to feel.

'Cause I've been here for much, too long
I've overstayed my welcome and I'm ready to leave.

I don't really wanna dance
I'm not in the mood to celebrate or be around people.

And I hate most of these songs
The music being played is exacerbating my mood and making me feel worse.

Plus my feet are killing me
My physical pain is adding to my emotional distress.

Shoulda stayed my ass at home
I regret coming to this party and wish I had stayed home.

I'm sittin' on this couch and my cellphone checking your name
I'm consumed by thoughts of my ex and can't seem to shake them.

Driving myself bat-shit crazy, going insane
My obsessive thoughts and emotions are becoming overwhelming and out of control.

Though there's a lot of fine boys in here, still thinkin' about you
Even with potential distractions around me, my ex is still the only thing on my mind.

I should try to pretend that I'm happy for a minute or two
I feel like I need to put on a facade of happiness and normality, even if only for a brief moment.

They playin' Weezy
The specific song being played is 'Weezy', which may have personal significance or meaning for me.

See, I told your ass not to go to that damn party

We coulda stayed home and watched Martin

Comin' through your window, we pillow talkin' util the morning

Hit the studio, making love, skits and let you recorded

Put it on your album, that shit'll be so retarded

Damn your pretty body I just wanna polaroid it

Blow it up, put it on my wall so we can both enjoy it

Taking it down if my friends come over so they don't focus on it

'Cause I'm selfish with my baby, never felt this from a lady
The artist is expressing possessiveness and deep emotions for their partner, which they haven't felt from anyone else.

Got me going crazy, all them clubs janky
Being in a noisy and crowded club environment with strangers is negatively impacting the artist's emotional state.

And you need to get back home to me
The singer is expressing a desire for their partner to come back to them and leave the party behind.

Giving your body a massage with the cozy feet

New perfume, earlobes are sweet
The artist is describing the physical attributes of their partner that they find attractive and enjoyable.

Forget them ghetto ass clubs with the phony VIPs

I know I shoulda stayed my ass at home (and I hate most of these songs)

But my girls kept calling me

Like Elle you gotta get your ass outta the house for a minute

(I don't really wanna dance) No I really wasn't with with it
