Dance Like Nobody's Watching
Iggy Azalea & Tinashe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dance all night, don't my ass look right?
Can't pass on the chance
Raise your hands up like
You a superstar, I might lose my bra
Show? Come watch
Grab a brush, mic drop
Sold out concert in the bathtub
Goodnight, bad girls wanna have fun
Moonwalk in the kitchen with my socks off
I'm all that, bag of chips and the hot sauce
I'm sexy, no stress, 'cause I'm okay
I'm quick to get lit, I'm on my way
LeChic, I'm a freak
Locked up, get the key
Hop up, feeling great
If you hate you can leave

No, I don't do it for the boys
No, I don't do it for the girls
No, I don't do it for the 'Gram
I'ma do it, do it for me

I don't just dance
I dance like nobody's watching
I dance like nobody's watching
Once I start I can't stop it
I don't give a damn
I dance like nobody's watching
I dance like nobody's watching
Once I start I can't stop it

4 AM took a shot, I can't miss
I'ma do what I want bitch, 'cause I'm famous
Not a care in the world
Put my hair in a twirl
Your man, grab a cam
Tryna stare at my curves
I'ma crawl on the floor how a cat moves (rawr)
Twerk by the mirror in the bathroom (mwah)
We've been past due
For the time of our lives
Catch a vibe
I'll be on ten the whole night

No, I don't do it for the boys (boys)
No, I don't do it for the girls (girls)
No, I don't do it for the 'Gram ('Gram)
I'ma do it, do it for me ('cause I can)

I don't just dance
I dance like nobody's watching
I dance like nobody's watching
Once I start I can't stop it
I don't give a damn
I dance like nobody's watching
I dance like nobody's watching
Once I start I can't stop it

I don't just dance
I dance like nobody's watching
I dance like nobody's watching
Once I start I can't stop it
I don't give a damn
I dance like nobody's watching
I dance like nobody's watching
Once I start I can't stop it

Ooh, I dance like no one's watching, yeah, yeah (no one's watching, no)
Ooh, I dance like no one's watching, yeah, yeah
Lost in the funk, black out at the function
Champagne pop, tell the world that I'm bubbly
Lost in the funk, black out at the function
Champagne pop, tell the world that I'm bubbly

I don't just dance
I dance like nobody's watching
I dance like nobody's watching
Once I start I can't stop it
I don't just dance
I dance like nobody's watching
I dance like nobody's watching
Once I start I can't stop it
I don't give a damn
I dance like nobody's watching




I dance like nobody's watching
And once I start I can't stop it
