That night down at the karaoke
I was in the groove
Someone tried some Dylan
But the place remained unmoved

A guy then goofed through Elvis
Why not, I thought, why not?
If you want it you can own it
Just aim, then take a shot

Do you sing to heal the broken hearted?
Faces to the wall
Or do you sing to get the party started
Or not at all?
Do you sing to heal the broken hearted?
Faces to the wall
Or do you sing to get the party started?

At one came the regulars
Knew thе songs and the keys
When that girl sang Spotlight
Thе place was on its knees

I like the mic, and I like the dark
I like the mood, and it lights a spark

Do you sing to heal the broken hearted?
Oh, you know I do
Or do you sing to get the party started?
And I love that too
Do you sing to heal the broken hearted?
You know I try
Or do you sing to get the party started?

And what's it for? Well, who knows
You take a breath and here goes
You hit the highs and own the lows
You hit the highs and you own the lows

I like the mic
I like the dark
I like the mood

I'm alone in the crowd
And the spotlight's on me now
Is this working?
Are you feeling something?
Do you see me?
I'm standing in the light
Are we feeling something?

Do you sing to heal the broken hearted?
Oh, you know I do
Or do you sing to get the party started?
And you know I love that too

I like the mic
I like the dark
I like the mood
