[Verse 1]
I been known to miss a red flag
I been known to put my lover on a pedestal
In the end, those things just don’t last
And it’s time I take my rose-coloured glasses off
[Pre-Chorus]
I already know your type, tellin’ me the things I like (Mm)
Tryna make me yours for life, takin’ me for a ride (Mm)
I already know your type, think you playin’ your cards right (Mm)
Don’t you know I could do this dance all night?
[Chorus]
Ooh, what you doin’?
Don’t know who you think that you’re confusin’
I be like, ooh, it’s amusin’
You think I’m gonna fall for an illusion
[Post-Chorus]
Dance all night, dance all night
Dance all night, dance all night (I be like, ooh)
Dance all night, dance all night
Dance all night, dance, dance
[Verse 2]
Was a time when that shit might’ve worked
Was a time when I just threw a match and let it burn
Now I’m grown, I know what I deserve
I still like dancin’ with the lessons I already learned
[Pre-Chorus]
I already know your type, tellin’ me the things I like (Mm)
Tryna make me yours for life, takin’ me for a ride (Mm)
I already know your type, think you playin’ your cards right (Mm)
Don’t you know I could do this dance all night?
[Chorus]
Ooh, what you doin’?
Don’t know who you think that you’re confusin’
I be like, ooh, it’s amusin’
You think I’m gonna fall for an illusion
[Post-Chorus]
Dance all night, dance all night
Dance all night, dance all night (I be like, ooh)
Dance all night, dance all night
Dance all night, dance, dance
[Bridge]
