Hey you by the wall, up there in the VIP You’re a picture to see
In view of us all, down here where the action is 
You can’t beat it
I’m loving your look of studied indifference
But it ain’t fooling me
Come down from your tower
and get what you’re missing

Because it’s plain to see
You can’t just live as an island 
We all need company
To bring out all of the joy in our lives 
It’s clear to me
It ain’t no fun in a party of one 
And I will make you see
You’ll be better off with me

You lookin’ at me
You like what you’re seein’
It’s plain to see
Come tell it to me
Don’t say I’m mistaken
You can’t fake it

Don’t stand by the wall 
Waiting for the DJ 
To play your favourite tune
Join me on the floor, and I will enthral you

Because it’s plain to see
You can’t just live as an island 
We all need company
To bring out all of the joy in our lives 
It’s clear to me
It ain’t no fun in a party of one 
And I will make you see
You’ll be better off with me

Don’t hide your light
Shine brightly whatever the weather 
Don’t hide your light
The world needs everyone to get together Don’t hide your light
Shine brightly whatever the weather 
Don’t hide your light

Because it’s plain to see
You can’t just live as an island 
We all need company
To bring out all of the joy in our lives 
It’s clear to me
It ain’t no fun in a party of one 
And I will make you see
You’ll be better off with me

Because it’s plain to see
You can’t just live as an island 
We all need company
To bring out all of the joy in our lives 
It’s clear to me
It ain’t no fun in a party of one 
And I will make you see
You’ll be better off with me

So here is my truth
So what of our differences 
Play the singleton blues or take a bigger chance 
Relinquish the role 
Of studied indifference 
Get down on the floor
it will amaze you
