[Intro]

("Three, four")


[Verse 1]

Here I go again

Wasting all my days away

It's a funny thing how some things never seem to change

Twenty-seven years of age

Head spin like a satellite

If you thought I was gonna behave tonight, you're wrong


[Chorus]

I'm drunk, and I'm a mess

Dressed up like it's Halloween

Dancin' alone to "Billie Jean"

Prayin' that somebody takes me home

Prayin' that, tonight, I won't have to sleep alone

With your answering phone


[Verse 2]

Here I go again

Wasting all my money, babe

It's a funny thing how some things never seem to change

I'm sick of all this cheap cocaine

I ain't got no appetite

If you thought I was gonna behave tonight, you're wrong


[Chorus]

I don't wanna be a star

Famous on the party scene

Dancin' alone to "Billie Jean"

Prayin' that somebody takes me home

Prayin' that, tonight, I won't have to sleep alone

With your answering phone


[Outro]

Smile

Smile

Smile

Smile, even if you're feeling sad
