Somebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
It's a big black sky over my town
I know where you at, I bet she's around
Yeah, I know it's stupid
I just gotta see it for myself
I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me?
Oh oh oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)
I'm just gonna dance all night
I'm all messed up, I'm so outta line
Stilettos on broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me
Oh oh oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)
So far away, but still so near
(The lights go on, the music dies)
But you don't see me standing here
(I just came) to say goodbye
I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)
I'm in the corner watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me
Oh oh oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)
(I keep dancing on my own)
Does she love you better than I can?
It's a big black sky over my town
I know where you at, I bet she's around
Yeah, I know it's stupid
I just gotta see it for myself
I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me?
Oh oh oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)
I'm just gonna dance all night
I'm all messed up, I'm so outta line
Stilettos on broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
I'm in the corner
Watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh
I'm right over here
Why can't you see me
Oh oh oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)
So far away, but still so near
(The lights go on, the music dies)
But you don't see me standing here

Watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh

I'm in the corner watching you kiss her
Oh oh oh

Why can't you see me
Oh oh oh
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
Ooh ooh ooh
I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)
(I keep dancing on my own)

She definitely says 'guy'. Take a look at the video:
youtube.com/watch
Go to about to 2:45, and watch her mouth when she reads the line. Her tongue stay depressed on the bottom of her mouth, which is what occurs when one says guy. If she was saying girl, the tip of her tongue would of had to touch the roof of her mouth.
Try it. Watch it. Prepare to be mind-blown.
That doesn't mean anything. You can clearly hear the "l" sound at the the end of girl. I don't understand how people can even mistake it for "guy".
I wish she is saying "guy" myself because I absolutely relate that. But sorry, rowkem, Robyn herself admits it an interview that she's saying "girl": thenewgay.net/2010/08/robyn-sorry-im-straight.html<br /> <br /> And teenagedream, don't get so cocky. "She's obviously saying girl. Why would she say guy? It doesn't fit with the rest of the lyrics." Excuse me? But this song describes my entire high school experience... falling in love with someone I could never have and then being forced to watch him get all over a female friend of mine, while all I could do was just "dance on my own" to try to escape the heartache.
omg rubytwo, story of my life 2.0, right now more than ever I feel like this. I'm in love with a guy who is in love with a my best female friend and I hate it because I got my hopes up, for a moment I thought he was gay.
