[Intro]
("Three, four")
[Verse 1]
Here I go again
Wasting all my days away
It's a funny thing how some things never seem to change
Twenty-seven years of age
Head spin like a satellite
If you thought I was gonna behave tonight, you're wrong
[Chorus]
I'm drunk, and I'm a mess
Dressed up like it's Halloween
Dancin' alone to "Billie Jean"
Prayin' that somebody takes me home
Prayin' that, tonight, I won't have to sleep alone
With your answering phone
[Verse 2]
Here I go again
Wasting all my money, babe
It's a funny thing how some things never seem to change
I'm sick of all this cheap cocaine
I ain't got no appetite
If you thought I was gonna behave tonight, you're wrong
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be a star
Famous on the party scene
Dancin' alone to "Billie Jean"
Prayin' that somebody takes me home
Prayin' that, tonight, I won't have to sleep alone
With your answering phone
[Outro]
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile, even if you're feeling sad
