Lyrics

Verse 1
It's over now and everybody's waiting to say:
"I told you so; it had to happen, anyway."
Now, ain't that really
(Really!)
What old friends are for?
(Really!)
Tell them I'm back in circulation; open the door.
(Open up, baby!)

Refrain 1
I'm single again, single again.
Tell me, what's been going on here?
Is the party about to end?
(Is it over?)
I'm single again, single again.
I've got energy to burn.
Let me dance; let me learn how to live.
(Do you wanna do it; do you wanna do it, baby?
Do you wanna do it; do you wanna do it, baby?)

Verse 2
I'm not supposed to show it if I miss the guy.
Don't think that I don't know it; I've learned not to cry.
And, he's looking for just a little girl.
Now, I'm a better woman for it, ready to face to world.
(Look out!)

Refrain 2
I'm single again, single again.
Tell me, what's been going on here?
Is the party about to end?
I'm single again, single again.
I've got energy to burn.
Let me dance; let me learn how to live.
(Do you wanna do it; do you wanna do it, baby?
Do you wanna do it; do you wanna do it, baby?)

Conclusion
Here I am; I'm all present and unaccounted-for!
(Hey, baby, are ready to swing?)
Oh, yes, ain't that what life's really for?
Ooh, I wanna do it: Ooh, I wanna do it: Forget that guy!
(He's no good for you!)
Ooh, I wanna do it: Ooh, I wanna do it: I wanna forget that guy!
(...'Cause he's no good for you!)
Ooh, I wanna do it: Ooh, I wanna do it: Forget that guy!
(Forget that guy!)
Ooh, I wanna do it: Ooh, I wanna do it: I wanna forget that guy!
(Forget him!)
I'm single again, single again, single again, single again.
Start that record spinning, boys; let me out on that floor.
Swinging town: Let's get down tonight!
