Lyrics and translation
Original
So he invites me out
Said he's going to the really cool night
And I said
Wow, that's sounds really cool
So I step out the UBER
Everywhere I look
Turtle necks, crochet barets, distressed linens
(Uh)
I walk inside
The DJ's playing ambient noise
There's a huddle of people
Watching an interpretive dance performance
Someone's painting a wall with their hand
A girl's in the corner, drinking orange wine
Talking 'bout how her flip phone saved her life
And no one was dancing!
So my friend turned to me and said
"Isn't this cool?"
And I said
"No" (no, no)
So I told him
(I, I) I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to
Dance!
Don't ask me about Almodóvar!
When I'm tryna get a drink
At the bar
I'm not here to think
Just here for fun
Someone tell the DJ
Play a song with drums!
Oh my god, is that too much to ask for?
People wanna dance
On the dancefloor
If the beat's hard, they're gonna dance more
Guess they didn't teach that at art school
So tell your arty friends (tell 'em)
Put don't the guardian (tell 'em)
Take off your cardigan
You ain't in central St. Martins
What' a trilby to a snapback?
What's a quiche to a Big Mac?
What's a vape to cig pack?
I don't care, just let me fuckin' hit that
A girl blows a cloud of Banana Ice Lost Mary's in my face and asks
"What' wrong?"
So I say
(I, I) I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to
Dance!
All right, people
We need to act now
'Cause it looks like they're about to set up live drawing
Are you sick of it? (yes)
You wanna dance? (yes)
Good!
Well repeat after me!
No more, try-hard, spoken word, art school shit!
(No more, try-hard, spoken word, art school shit!)
No more "How the fuck am I supposed to dance to this?"
(No more "How the fuck am I supposed to dance to this?")
No more, try-hard, spoken word, art school shit!
No more "How the fuck am I supposed to dance to this?"
No more, try-hard, spoken word, art school shit!
And if the DJ sucks
Then he asked for it
(I, I) I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art
I only came here to
Dance!
Whoo
Dance
Mm
I, I, I came here to dance
I, I, I came here to da—
I, I, I came here to
I, I, I came here to da—
I, I, I came— (Woo)
I, I, I came here to da—
I, I, I came here to
I, I, I came here to da—
I, I, I came here to dance
I, I, I only came here to (Uh-huh?)
I, I, I only came— (Yeah?)
I, I, I only came here to (Okay)
I, I, I only came— (Mm)
I didn't come here for art (Yeah?)
I only came here to dance
I didn't come here for art (Uh-huh?)
I only came here to dance
