Is Christina Aguilera going for a more urban sound with her new single? The pop star has called on hitmaker Polow Da Don (“London Bridge,” “Lil Freak”) and songwriter Ester Dean (“Rude Boy”) to write and produce “Not Myself Tonight,” the first offering from her new album Bionic. After revealing the cover artwork yesterday, she shared the lyrics with fans on her website today.
“Not Myself Tonight” Lyrics
You know tonight
I am feeling a little out control
is this me
you wanna get crazy
because I don’t give a…
1ST VERSE
I’m out of character
I’m in rare form
and if you really knew me
you’d know its not the norm
B SECTION:
Cause I’m doing things that I normally won’t do
the old me’s gone I feel brand new
and if you don’t like it fuck you
The music’s on and I’m dancing
I’m normally in the corner just standing
I’m feeling unusual
I don’t care cause this is my night
HOOK:
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
2ND VERSE:
I’m dancing a lot and I’m taking shots I’m feeling fine
I’m kissing all the boys and the girls
someone call the doctor cause I lost my mind
B SECTION:
Cause I’m doing things that I normally won’t do
the old me’s gone I feel brand new
and if you don’t like it fuck you
The music’s on and I’m dancing
I’m normally in the corner just standing
I’m feeling unusual
I don’t care cause this is my night
HOOK:
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
BRIDGE:
In the morning
when I wake up
I’ll go back to the girl I used to be
but baby not tonight
HOOK:
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
I’m not myself tonight
tonight I’m not the same girl same girl
Yah, that feels good
I needed that
get crazy
let’s go
that’s right
come on
give it to me now, don’t stop
