Mama said it's the grit that makes the pearl
Hold your head up high, you're my girl
But I found it really hard
And Daddy said it's the songs that you're gonna sing
That'll change your world if you let 'em in
We're starting from the start

And as they went to bed
And as the sun set

I put my headphones in, start to spin
Wanting to leave this world behind
I turn Aretha up, don't give a fuck
If my neighbours hear me cry
When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night
When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night

People say only stars go to Hollywood
Get a life, get a job, get some motherhood
And that kinda broke my heart
Brother said, "You're a tiger that's gonna roar"
Whatcha hiding the fire in your soul for?
And that really hit me hard

As they went to bed
And as the sun set

I put my headphones in, start to spin
Wanting to leave this world behind
Turn Aretha up, don't give a fuck
If my neighbours hear me cry
When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night
When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night

Splinters left from the hardwood floor
Well, I couldn't love them more
I carry the scars wherever I go
[?] washing above my hair
[But I didn't know where to stand?]
But they were the best of all the moment
And if I could go back then

I'd put my headphones in, start to spin
Wanting to leave this world behind
Turn Aretha up, don't give a fuck
If my neighbours hear me cry
When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night
When I'm dancing in the kitchen at night

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Dancing in the kitchen at night
I'm dancing in the kitchen at night
