“Not Myself Tonight” Lyrics
You know tonight
I am feeling a little out control
is this me
you wanna get crazy
because I don’t give a…
1ST VERSE
I’m out of character
I’m in rare form
and if you really knew me
you’d know its not the norm
B SECTION:
Cause I’m doing things that I normally won’t do
the old me’s gone I feel brand new
and if you don’t like it fuck you
The music’s on and I’m dancing
I’m normally in the corner just standing
I’m feeling unusual
I don’t care cause this is my night
HOOK:
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
2ND VERSE:
I’m dancing a lot and I’m taking shots I’m feeling fine
I’m kissing all the boys and the girls
someone call the doctor cause I lost my mind
B SECTION:
Cause I’m doing things that I normally won’t do
the old me’s gone I feel brand new
and if you don’t like it fuck you
The music’s on and I’m dancing
I’m normally in the corner just standing
I’m feeling unusual
I don’t care cause this is my night
HOOK:
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
BRIDGE:
In the morning
when I wake up
I’ll go back to the girl I used to be
but baby not tonight
HOOK:
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
Yah, that feels good
I needed that
get crazy
let’s go
that’s right
come on
give it to me now, don’t stop
