I stay out too late
Got nothin’ in my brain
That’s what people say, mm-mm

At least, that’s what people say, mm-mm
That’s what people say, mm-mm

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

I shake it off, I shake it off

I’m lightnin’ on my feet
And that’s what they don’t see, mm-mm

I’m dancin’ on my own (Dancin’ on my own)

That’s what they don’t know, mm-mm

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend

Yeah, oh-oh, oh
