Scott, Calum - Dancing On My Own Lyrics






Somebody said you got a new friend
But does she love you better than I can?
And there's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at I bet she's around

And yeah I know it's stupid
But I just gotta see it for myself

I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
And I'm right over here
Why can't you see me?
Oh oh oh
And I'm givin' it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own

I just wanna dance all night
I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line
Stilettos on broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles

And I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Ooh
And I'm right over here
Why can't you see me?
Ooh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
And I keep dancing on my own
And oh, no

So far away
But still so near
The lights come on
The music dies
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye

I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home
Oh oh oh
And I keep dancing on my own
And no, no

Said, I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh, no
And I'm right over here
Why can't you see me?
Oh, no
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
And I keep dancing on my own

So far away
But still so near
The lights come on
The music dies
But you don't see me standing here

Scott, Calum Dancing On My Own Comments
  1. D.... S....

    insert life's story you didn't ask for

  2. D.... ....

    Crying at 2am is an addiction, I wonder if I start smiling at 2am tomorrow.. can it be addiction too?

  3. O.... e....

    So I’m in deeply love with my boss. Every time I see her, I can’t stop staring at ther eyes, her lips. This song reminds me a lot of her, mostly the part “Why you can’t see me?” because I’m always showing how much I love her. I have faith in the future.

  4. C.... A....

    But u don't see me

  5. C.... L....

    I'm confused af... this is the original song, right?

    C.... L....

    What is confusing? Check the MV credits for the songwriters. This is one of Calum's performances of the song.

  6. S.... M....

    when all you've ever known is unrequited love

  7. J.... S....

    I discovered this song on Facebook almost 3 years ago and it made me cry, at the time I haven't been in any kind of relationship with anyone. Just recently I fell for my straight friend (whom doesn't talk to me anymore) sadly now I can really relate to the lyrics and feelings this song provokes.

  8. A.... A....

    *cries in bisexual*

  9. N.... N....

    Who listen in February?

  10. K.... N....

    𝘐'𝘮 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘶𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦💔

  11. M.... H....

    I never knew this was a cover from robyn!!

    M.... H....

    Both songwriters are identified in the MV credits.

  12. K.... K....

    My girl broke up with me bec she liked her bsf more and this helped me so much

  13. n.... a....

    I’m genuinely confused why fellow animals are talking about dead relatives, when this is supposed to be a sad love song.

  14. Y.... M....

    💕💕💕

  15. R.... G....

    I would never let you dance on your own..

  16. D.... ....

    It's so nice being alone. Everything you can think about. The world is so free yet it's still a prison.

  17. s.... b....

    Já ouvi 9999999 vezes e ainda não enjoei a voz dele é demais

  18. M.... M....

    Only idiots vote "don't like". But the world is full of idiots.

  19. M.... B....

    Me facina como canta este hombree ♡

  20. B.... K....

    Wow this song brought so much emotion what a voice one of a kind

  21. S.... F....

    Looks like he tried to copy kings of Leon version of this as there’s was first and way better. And Robyn owns it

    S.... F....

    In the music business, it's sales, views and streams that determines success. Calum has swamped them both.

    PS Robyn's acoustic version predates both of them. https://youtu.be/kY6PU7k8iXo

  22. J.... K....

    i'm not the guy you're taking home

  23. A.... S....

    This has Tom Odell - Another Love's vibes 😍 Anyone?

  24. J.... V....

    i realy like the performance on bgt the best ever. great job

  25. R.... F....

    Happy Valentine's Day y'all

  26. A.... g....

    Além de lindo, canta muito, MDS .

  27. R.... T....

    ❤❤❤❤

  28. M.... T....

    Love from Hull Callum 👊🏻😎

  29. K.... N....

    I'm in love with this GORGEOUS man and his angelic voice!

  30. M.... A....

    Somebody said you got a new friend
    Does she love you better than I can?

    And yeah, I know it's stupid

    I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh oh oh
    And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
    I keep dancing on my own

    I'm just wanna dance all night
    And I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line, yeah
    Stilettos and broken bottles
    I'm spinning around in circles
    And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
    I keep dancing on my own
    And oh no

    So far away but still so near
    The lights come up, the music dies
    But you don't see me standing here
    I just came to say goodbye
    I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
    And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
    I keep dancing on my own
    And oh no
    Sit down in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh no
    And I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh no
    And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
    I keep dancing on my own

    So far away, but still so near
    The lights come up, the music dies
    But you don't see me standing here

  31. G.... W....

    I like this more than robyns look terryfying lol

  32. M.... 9....

    I'm crying while reading you all. My dear mom's very sick. And I wish she could be better. As happy and smiling as she used to be. I always listen to this song when I think of her.

    M.... 9....

    Mane 98 I wish your mom to be healthy and happy. You have to stay strong for her. Im sending you good vibes and all my love, from Paris ❤️

  33. d.... ....

    I used to listen to this when I used to now be able to sleep at night. This is the only method that worked. You guys think I might be joking but I cried when the sing played.

  34. S.... B....

    I don't know why his voice brings so much emotions, particularly sad ones, to everyone's mind. Outstanding.

  35. U.... T....

    When you break up with the one that's supposed to be your forever

  44. T.... M....

    When the remake gets more views than the original

  45. u.... y....

    When you came 6th place in bgt but still followed your dreams and became a big singer

    u.... y....

    Indeed. Fortunately, Capitol Records recognized his talent, and signed him in 2016.

  46. S.... K....

    I actually like that woman's eye bags. It makes this more relatable.

  47. K.... C....

  53. P.... Y....

    February 12, 2020 ❤

  54. C.... V....

    Listened to this song multiple times after I caught my girl cheating with a friend. 💔

    C.... V....

    CM VIDEÑA u don’t need her stay strong I am going through a lot of shit too but I promise it will g better stay strong ❤️❤️❤️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻

    C.... V....

    CM VIDEÑA she ain’t worth it bro! Get over her. Never let your happiness depend on some person! People change in no time buddy! Stay strong!

  55. N.... R....

    Gosh there is so much emotion coming from his voice with this song! I totally understand how he feels, going through it and man does this song hit home! 😔

  56. S.... T....

    gaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy

    S.... T....

    Your gay pride is bursting out of you! Thanks for sharing it with us!

  57. M.... C....

    This song nothing like breakup n all but i'm happy to have this wonderful life.

  58. J.... F....

    Where are the black people in this video?

    J.... F....

    I’m black and listen to all kinds of music

  59. C.... M....

    I was blessed with so many things in my life but have the voice of drunken feret😭

  60. d.... ....

    this version is not as good as the live one / too much effecty on his voice ... )

    d.... ....

    You might like his BBC performance. Not overproduced, and his voice is strong. https://youtu.be/BVZhiCATsug

  61. G.... G....

    Ik this is Robyn's song but I like Colum's version more cuz the lyrics are kinda sad And Colum's version is kind of slow and it fits the lyrics of the song but still no hate!

  62. s.... c....

    This is really crap. He murdered a perfectly good song by Robyn.

    s.... c....

    I bet Robyn and her co-writer are loving the royalties.

    s.... c....

    You are probably right and rightly so .
    That doesn't make this version better though.

  63. A.... L....

    I remember me and my mum used to listen to this song in the car when it was a hit. She joked to me that “he must be really lonely dancing on his own then.”

    Two years later, she passed away sadly. I’ve returned to this song, realising I’m the one dancing on my own. And I am really lonely without her. She was my rock.

    A.... L....

    Be strong ❤️ 😞

    A.... L....

    Stay strong 💕🥺

    A.... L....

    She is with you, in your heart, still your rock like always 💛

    A.... L....

    Stay strong Amber, I know she would want you to rock for the two of you. <3

    A.... L....

    ❤️❤️

  64. D.... r....

    When you broken i know u can feel what i feel...
    just because im not a rich man..

  65. #.... i....

    Fascinating! Especially considering he wasn't even on AGT.

    j.... e....

    BGT! WHATEVER, SAME DIFFERENCE! LOL

    j.... e....

    I'm sure you knew what I meant without making that remark! It's the same thing, just different countries! 😊

  72. C.... W....

    In think its Better than Original !

  88. C.... S....

    so beautiful <3

  89. T.... M....

    I want to marry him 💖

    T.... M....

    Don't hold your breath. He is gay.

    T.... M....

    @B B so is my brother, idc! Callum is hot gay or straight.

    T.... M....

    @Tia Marie It was a statement of fact, not a put down of Calum. But given his sexual orientation, don't think he'd be interested in marrying a woman.

  90. S.... P....

    ¿Alguien más vino aquí porque escuchó la hermosa versión del portugués Fernando Daniel?

    Si no es así, vayan a escucharlo. Hermoso.

  91. J.... L....

    I really admire you Calum Scott ❣️hope to see you in personal Huhuhu😭God Bless You more my favorite song artist @Calum Scott I Love You ❣️💓💕

  92. D.... F....

    Best version ever.

  93. J.... G....

    Everyone saying this is Robyn song, who the hell cares, he remade it his own way.. I love his version..

  94. C.... S....

    Muito lindo ♡

  95. Y.... C....

    my dumbass watching his audition saying wow this sounds so much like the original 10 minutes later me realising its his song🤦🏽‍♀️I LOVE THE SONG THO🥰

    Y.... C....

    Don't set the Robyn fans off! They are a touchy bunch. It is Calum's performance, but as noted in the MV credits, he didn't write it.

  96. T.... T....

    Que melodia! Arrenbentou....
