I said, friends, it's been one of those days
Where the world came at me in so many ways
They all nodded and they gave my back a rub
And said "we'll take you to the club"

I'm in the kitchen with glasses and cards, it's
The kind of place you'll always find me at parties
They say my sorrows will soon drowning
And they like to drink with me 'cause I get it down in
8, 7, you get the idea

Through the doors of the club I flew
I want to dance, what will the DJ do?
He knew the plan when he saw my frown
And as I broke it down I also broke down

Sick moves and crushing pain
Bow my head while I'm off the chain
Turn it up so no one hears
Do the worm just to hide the tears
Spin around, avoid eye contact
Pump my fist try to stay intact
I thought I was on top, and how
So why am I crying in the club right now?

Maybe this was a mistake
I've been dancing for 5 minutes, I need a break
The toilet attendant told me "stiff upper lip"
Then he handed me the card machine demanding a tip

Back on the floor throwing shapes
The boys around me like a band of apes
They beat their chests as I throw it in a circle
Something flips a switch and I know that work'll
Have to wait, it's getting late,
And I've got so much on my plate

Sick moves and crushing pain
Bow my head while I'm off the chain
Turn it up so no one hears
Do the worm just to hide the tears
Spin around, avoid eye contact
Pump my fist try to stay intact
I thought I was on top, and how
So why am I crying in the club right now?

Alright, everybody cry with me...
(Call and response crying section)

Crying in the club
Sulking by the speaker
Music getting louder
Body growing weaker

Crying in the club
Sobbing on the sofa
I'm not getting up,
I'm waiting til it's over

Crying in the club
Approached by the staff
Please can you stop crying
We came here here to have a laugh

Crying in the club
Escorted out the door
I'm not crying in the club any more
