She likes the boys who can dance, and she likes musicians
Signed pictures of ’em all, hanging there by her bedroom shelf
She just wants to be like the girls on the television
‘Cause no one ever told her, it was okay to love yourself
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Be still, beating heart
‘Cause this is her show
And you’ll never be the star
‘Cause she falls in love every night
Don’t even know your name
And no, it’s fine
You know and then we cross by her eyes
It’s not her fault that she wants what she wants, yeah
She falls in love every night
And she don’t even know what love is like
She been dancing in the dark throughout her life
It’s not her fault that she wants what she wants, yeah
She sings her favorite songs, does her makeup in the bathroom
She dances in the mirror, lays her dresses out on the bed
She’ll leave her lipstick on you like a tattoo
So when you try to wash it off, you’ll remember that you can’t forget
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Be still, beating heart, oh
‘Cause this is her show
And you’ll never be the star
‘Cause she falls in love every night
Don’t even know your name
And no, it’s fine
You know and then we cross by her eyes
It’s not her fault that she wants what she wants, yeah
She falls in love every night
But she don’t even know what love is like
She been dancing in the dark throughout her life
It’s not her fault that she wants what she wants, yeah
Ho! Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, woah, oh
It’s not her fault that she wants what she wants, yeah
It’s not her fault that she wants what she wants
