[Verse 1] They said, “Maybe you’re too big,” “Maybe you should change your shape.” “Maybe boys don’t want a girl like you,” So I learned to hide my face. I heard “ugly,” heard “too heavy,” Heard it more than I should know. So I put on something pretty And I dance beneath the glow. [Pre-Chorus] But tell me, am I asking too much? To feel beautiful beneath these lights? Do I have to shrink myself Just to deserve a Friday night? [Chorus] Am I too fat to dance nowww? Too ugly for somebody to stay? Do I have to change my whole body Before a boy would ask me to sway? Am I never gonna be enough To have somebody dancing by my side? Well, fuck what they told me— I’m turning up the music tonight. [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, watch me dance, Oh-oh, watch me shine, Maybe I’m not everybody’s type, But I’m still allowed to have a good time. Oh-oh, let me live, Oh-oh, let me feel— I don't need a perfect body To know that this moment is real. [Verse 2] I’ve watched the pretty girls get chosen, While I stood somewhere behind. Wondering what they had that I was missing, Wondering what was wrong with mine. But maybe I’m not broken, Maybe I was never meant to be A smaller version of somebody else Just so somebody would notice me. [Pre-Chorus] So tonight I’m done apologizing For the body that I came in. If nobody wants to hold me, I’ll still dance until the morning. [Chorus] Am I too fat to dance nowww? Too ugly for somebody to stay? Do I have to change my whole body Before a boy would ask me to sway? Am I never gonna be enough To have somebody dancing by my side? Well, fuck what they told me— I’m turning up the music tonight. [Bridge] Maybe someday someone will find me And hold me underneath the lights. But until that person comes along, I’m not wasting my life. I don't need his hands around my waist To prove that I deserve this song. I can cry beneath the disco lights And still keep dancing all night long. [Final Chorus] I’M NOT TOO FAT TO DANCE NOWWW! I’M NOT TOO UGLY TO SHINE! I don’t have to change my body To deserve somebody’s time! And if I’m never somebody’s first choice, I’ll still turn the music up tonight! Maybe someday someone will dance with me— But until then, I’m dancing by my side. [Outro] So let them talk… Let them stare… I’m still here. I’m still dancing. And I’m still enough.
