Lyrics of Dancing With A Stranger by Sam Smith, Normani

Hmm, hmm
I don′t wanna be alone tonight (alone tonight)
It's pretty clear that I′m not over you (over you)
I'm still thinking 'bout the things you do (things you do)
So I don′t want to be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight
Can you light the fire? (Light the fire)
I need somebody who can take control (take control)
I know exactly what I need to do
′Cause I don't want to be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight
Look what you made me do
I′m with somebody new
Ooh, baby, baby, I'm dancing with a stranger
Look what you made me do
I′m with somebody new
Ooh, baby, baby, I'm dancing with a stranger
Dancing with a stranger
I wasn′t even going out tonight (out tonight)
But boy I need to get you off my mind (off my mind)
I know exactly what I have to do
I don't want to be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight
Look what you made me do
I'm with somebody new
Ooh, baby, baby, I′m dancing with a stranger
Look what you made me do
I′m with somebody new
Ooh, baby, baby, I'm dancing with a stranger
Dancing with a stranger
Dancing with a stranger
Dancing, yeah, ooh
Look what you made me do (mhmm)
I′m with somebody new
Ooh, baby, baby, I'm dancing with a stranger
Look what you made me do
I′m with somebody new
Ooh, baby, baby, I'm dancing with a stranger
I′m dancing, I'm dancing (ooh)
I'm dancing, I′m dancing (dancing with a stranger)
I′m dancing, I'm dancing (dancing with a stranger)
I′m dancing, I'm dancing (dancing with a stranger)
