Lyrics for Christina Aguilera – Not Myself Tonight
You know tonight
I am feeling a little out control

I’m out of character
I’m in rare form
and If you really knew me
you’d know its not the normB 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 F*ck youThe 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 nightHOOK:
I’m not myself tonight

I’m not myself tonight
