I Like to Dance

We met in 2004
He waited for me at the door
He was nervous looked around
And then he kissed me
I was found

I'm mostly like everyone else
My friends are kind I'm in good health
I like to dance when I'm at home
I like to dance

We were so in love
My friends were jealous of me
He held me close I felt at home
I had always felt alone

He got angry sometimes
He's only angry sometimes
He shouts at me and I shout back
I have always been like that

I just wish he'd stop

The first time he pushed me over,
He walked past he smashed my phone
I didn't know what to say next
Do you know what you would do next

We'd been together for six years
We'd held each other through our tears
I yelled at him, he cried in fear
He didn't want to be like this

I just wish he'd stop

Please don't feel sorry for me
I don't want your pity
I want to run through rivers and smile
I want to sing right through the night

You scream why don't you leave
My kids are two and three
I just can't pay for what they need
We both know he'd find me

I just wish he'd stop hitting me

I get so scared of what to show
I'm pretty sure some of my friends know
My mum says I look different now
She says I don't look like myself

I sometimes think if he'd left
I could be a doctor or an artist
People always say I'm smart
I could go back to school and start

Again I'm like everyone else
I'm mostly like everyone else
I'm mostly like everyone else
I'm mostly like everyone else

I like to dance when I'm alone
I like to dance when I'm at home
I like to dance when I'm at home
I like to dance
