I was sitting in the shadows of a place we used to go
Drinking cocktail after cocktail, oh, wondering if you'd show
My head started spinning, my mouth was feeling dry
Lost inside the music I was trying not to cry

If they call it headache
If they call it headache
Why is the rest of my body aching?
Why is the rest of my body shaking?
Please Mr DJ, won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
I'm too hurt to dance tonight

I was sitting, looking silent, he said I stood out from the crowd
He offered my a friendly face to wipe away my fright
But I won't talk to strangers, their words are all the same
So I drowned inside this drinking glass yo take away the pain

If they call it headache
If they call it headache
Why is the rest of my body aching?
Why is the rest of my body shaking?
Please Mr DJ, won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
I'm too hurt to dance tonight

Please Mr DJ, won't you turn the music down
Why can't you understand
I'm too hurt to dance tonight
