The Way I Are (Dance with Somebody) Lyrics
[Intro: Bebe Rexha, Lil Wayne]
I'm sorry, I'm not the most pretty
I'll never ever sing like Whitney
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
But I still wanna dance with somebody (Tunechi)
[Verse 1: Bebe Rexha, Lil Wayne]
So let's let our hearts bleed, till they turn to rust
Gonna live it up, 'cause it's dangerous
No, I don't wanna play the part (Amen)
I just wanna dance with somebody (Amen)
I just wanna dance with somebody (Yeah)
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha]
I just wanna dance with somebody
I just wanna dance with somebody
It could be anybody
Tell me, are you that somebody?
Don't matter who you are
Just love me the way I are
I just wanna dance with somebody
I just wanna dance with somebody
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
I just wanna dance with somebody (Hey)
But I could never ever dance like Bobby (Hey)
You can dance, I'ma watch your body
I just wanna stand right behind it (Ooh)
I just want a chance with somebody (Yeah)
Pop a couple xans with somebody (Yeah)
Every time she dance it's exotic (Yeah)
Throw a bunch of bands arms get tired (Aye)
I'm the God I just want a goddess (Amen)
Gotta use a bedroom for a closet (Amen)
Got a whole bedroom, on the private (Bedroom)
I know her body inside, out science (Woo)
Kiss both boobs right before I sign 'em (Mwah)
Can't dance but kinda grind 'em (Mwah)
Yeah, I be right behind her, spinal (Aye)
We can turn this dance floor to a island (Yeah)
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Lil Wayne]
I just wanna dance with somebody (Mula)
I just wanna dance with somebody
It could be anybody
Tell me, are you that somebody? (Tunechi)
Don't matter who you are
Just love me the way I are
I just wanna dance with somebody
I just wanna dance with somebody
[Bridge: Bebe Rexha & Lil Wayne]
Bloody noses, speeding cars (Aye)
Lethal doses, desperate hearts
Roll it up 'cause we so ill (Ooh)
Heaven knows we love the thrill (Ooh)
No, I don't wanna play the part (Yeah)
I just wanna dance with somebody (Yeah; play the part)
I just wanna dance with somebody (Aye, yeah)
[Chorus: Bebe Rexha, Lil Wayne]
I just wanna dance with somebody (Mula)
I just wanna dance with somebody
It could be anybody
Tell me, are you that somebody? (Tunechi)
Don't matter who you are
Just love me the way I are
I just wanna dance with somebody
I just wanna dance with somebody (Oh)
I just wanna dance with somebody (Ooh, woah)
I just wanna dance with somebody
It could be anybody (Oh, woah)
Tell me, are you that somebody?
Don't matter who you are (Woah)
Just love me the way I are
I just wanna dance with somebody
I just wanna dance with somebody

How does Bebe describe this song?
It’s basically a fuck you to all the people in the music business who didn’t see me as what a pop star should be because I was this Albanian girl from Brooklyn, New York, was a little bit different, didn’t really know how to get into the music business. I didn’t look the part. I wasn’t 90 pounds and...
How long did the song take to come together?
I think we were in the studio for five hours, but that was because we were eating and taking breaks and coming back and working on hooks. Then we did revisit the song a lot after that. The production and stuff, but the actual creation of the song was pretty quick.
It was weird because we were stuck...
Was Bebe a fan of Whitney Houston?
Absolutely. I remember when she did “Hero” with Mariah Carey. It was the best thing ever.

Her voice always seemed so just heavenly and kind...
