She walked out weeks ago and you're Getting back on track But you're staring at your feet with all that Baggage on your back You're in no shape to spend the night out on the town So dust yourself off and hold your head up And lift yourself off of the ground You're gonna meet someone tonight The world intimidates you, makes you Nervous as hell But I didn't come all the way here to leave you Cozy in your shell You're in no shape to spend the night out on the town So dust yourself off and hold your head up And lift yourself off of the ground You're gonna meet someone tonight You're in no shape to spend the night out on the town So dust yourself off and hold your head up And lift yourself off of the ground You're gonna meet someone tonight You're gonna meet someone tonight You're gonna meet someone tonight, Yeah You're gonna meet someone tonight

Invading the dance floor, flaunting all their crowns and props Little do they know tonight will be her last hurrah The ruler takes her rightful place up by the throne 21 years in the making, now time for the overthrow The battle for the Queen of the Club is underway The battle for the Queen of the Club is underway Wielding their weapons of choice, beckoning to the bar The boys are glad to oblige when issued a call to arms To be used as pawns by the soon-divorcee from the scene Going on the defensive as the young ones hatch their scheme The battle for the Queen of the Club is underway The battle for the Queen of the Club is underway Hey-y-y-y Mr. DJ on the stand, bout to lose his biggest fan Mr. DJ on the stand, bout to lose his biggest fan The ruler's allies join the ranks of infirm and wounded Will she relinquish the crown or be banished to a pride of cougars? The battle for the Queen of the Club is underway The battle for the Queen of the Club is underway The battle for the Queen of the Club is underway The battle for the Queen of the Club is underway Yeah yeah yeah yeah So make way for the Queen of the Club So make way for the Queen of the Club So make way for the Queen of the Club So make way for the Queen of the Club

I got money in my pocket Need a place to spend it on Feel like a rat stuck in a cage now Until 5 o'clock rolls around then I'm gone Break from a 40-hour sentence With a precious 48 And when I get up to the club now I don't mind just tossing what's on my plate It's goin' off in here And I'm gonna get me some Tonight there's no tomorrow Till Tomorrow actually comes Get on the floor, (just keep dancing) Lose all control (just keep dancing) Drink up some more (just keep dancing) Remember where to meet so we can all forget the week And just keep dancing Start with 3 shots and no chaser Need a way to loosen up And the girls all look my way When I head back to the bar and fill my cup See my ex across the dancefloor And she's with another guy There's no reason I should sweat it I'll just grab somebody sexy and the sparks will fly It's goin' off in here And I'm gonna get me some Tonight there's no tomorrow Till Tomorrow actually comes Get on the floor, (just keep dancing) Lose all control (just keep dancing) Drink up some more (just keep dancing) Remember where to meet so we can all forget the week And just keep dancing I've been searching for a partner, already made the rounds Everybody puts their hands up, and they scream when they see what I'm throwing down. Get on the floor, (just keep dancing) Lose all control (just keep dancing) Drink up some more (just keep dancing) Remember where to meet so we can all forget the week Get on the floor, (just keep dancing) Lose all control (just keep dancing) Drink up some more (just keep dancing) Remember where to meet so we can all forget the week Remember where to meet so we can all forget the week Remember where to meet so we can all forget the week And just keep dancing

The bass is pounding and fists are raised in the air. They watch the way she walks, I watch the way they stare. I'm little more than a roadblock in their way Reaching 7 or 8 there comes a price to pay I'll have another to loosen my tongue But my tongue's come a little too loose. I'll have another to loosen my tongue But my tongue's come a little too loose. How much louder do I scream just to be heard? Why bother talking when I can't hear a single word? They say don't worry about it, you got nothing to lose. Hard to believe when she's just trolling for free booze. I'll have another to loosen my tongue But my tongue's come a little too loose. I'll have another to loosen my tongue But my tongue's come a little too loose. Every night turns out the same Yet I continue to play this game Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh no It's last call and the house lights shine overhead Last chance before I walk home hanging my head But within seconds, conversation's on the rocks Fooled again by fancy paper 'round an empty box. I'll have another to loosen my tongue But my tongue's come a little too loose. I'll have another to loosen my tongue But my tongue's come a little too loose. I'll get it twisted up nice and tight Or tie it up and make it my noose I'll have another to loosen my tongue But my tongue's come a little too loose.

On this night it's funny how I find you among the party crowd But you don't look so happy Though your friends are all around. It's time to set the record straight Been struggling to communicate I've tried to be patient But this couldn't wait. Where do we stand or is this getting too real? In between drinks have you considered how you feel? My heart is on my sleeve and so is your drink The more you spill the more that I feel it sink My heart is on my sleeve and so is your drink The more you spill the more that I feel it sink On again, off again There's no telling why or when Do you think of us as lovers Or think of us as friends? No need to put your defenses up Or say I'm asking way too much But I just had you in my arms Now you shudder from my touch Where do we stand or is this getting too real? In between drinks have you considered how you feel? My heart is on my sleeve and so is your drink The more you spill the more that I feel it sink My heart is on my sleeve and so is your drink The more you spill the more that I feel it sink Oh.... Will you remember when the night is through? Or should I do the same and forget about you? Hold up your crown as you continue to sway My heart is on my sleeve as you walk away. My heart is on my sleeve and so is your drink The more you spill the more that I feel it sink Oh...

She's got the look that gets all the boys hooked But only few will live to tell the tale Good luck getting her name, best be on top of your game Cuz within seconds your routine gets stale You said you'd kill for just a taste But she'll be quick to lay you to waste She's always high in demand She'll make you putty in her hands And oh oh oh oh That's just how she likes it Vodka soda and lime, she gets it everytime But she'll never be stuck with the bill Batter up, batter up, You're next to fill up her cup Will you strike out or go in for the kill? So many try to crack the shell Of this frigid femme fatale She's always high in demand She'll make you putty in her hands And oh oh oh oh That's just how she likes it She'll launch a thousand ships With just a swing of her hips And oh oh oh oh That's just how she likes it. Did she come here to meet someone? Or did she just come to dance? You said you'd kill for just a taste But she'll be quick to lay you to waste She's always high in demand She'll make you putty in her hands And oh oh oh oh That's just how she likes it She'll launch a thousand ships With just a swing of her hips And oh oh oh oh That's just how she likes it. And oh oh oh oh That's just how she likes it. And oh oh oh oh That's just how she likes it.
