On the floor of Tokyo
Or down in London town to go, go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself

When there's no-one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance

[Scat]

Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance

ok, I know I'm going to attract some flaming here but Harry Potter has permanently altered this for me, and forever and ever this will be "Dancing with an Elf."

Me too! But there were so many others there thinking/doing the same thing that I never felt by myself!

Gen X!  But how can you post a later biography without  mentioning Stevie Stevens?

Back in the day, when we were first getting sober, this song was an absolute anthem! If you’ve never seen a dance floor full of newly sober alcoholics, just losing their minds, just dancing for the sheer joy of life!




Thank You for sharing your story!

Wasn’t a fan, but when this came on at college parties the girls would start dancing. And that was cool.

I you have no one to dance with... you'll have to dance with yourself

I heard his stage name was inspired by one of his school teachers. 
He was such a slacker his teacher called him "Billy Idle".

The early version of this had Steve Jones and Paul Cook from Sex Pistols on it

Who could not get off their seat and dance by themselves

A Billy Idol concert plays a small part in American Horror Story 1984 (2019).  Just thought y'all might want to know.

If you don't find yourself movin' to the beat, well then that's because you're dead.

Going to see him tomorrow night in San Francisco!! A sold-out show at the Palace of Fine Arts. All-acoustic with Steve Stevens. Looking forward to it!
