If love is a battle, i'm a deserter
Always on the run, like going in circles

But don't you feel sorry for me - i'll be in a cave
No pity party for me - boxer in the ring
I'll be bouncing back on my feet - 9 lives, so
Don't you feel sorry for me

'cause i'll be dancing in the dirt
I'll be dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing

Lost you thought i had you, you never surrendered
I'm always coming up short, wish i never met you

But don't you feel sorry for me - i'll be in a cave
No pity party for me - boxer in the ring
I'll be bouncing back on my feet - 9 lives, so
Don't you feel sorry for me

'cause i'll be dancing in the dirt
I'll be dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing

Thought you left me for dead
Thought i'd crumble and that you'd be the end of me
Thought i'd crawl back, thought i'd beg, no
Eat your heart out, guess again

'cause i'll be dancing in the dirt
I'll be dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
Dancing in the dirt
