Lyrics

Some bo dy said you got a new friend.

Does she love you bet ter than I can?

There’s a big black sky o ver my town.

I know where you at, I bet she’s a round.

Yeah, I know it’s stu pid but I just got to see it for my self.

I’m in the cor ner, watch ing you kiss her.

Oh.

I’m right o ver here,

why can’t you see me?

Oh.

I’m giv ing it my all, I’m not the guy you’re tak ing home,

ooh,

I keep (C)danc ing on my own.

Dancing On My Own by Robyn — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 112 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
