Bartender
Following a break up with her guy, the singer is sitting home on a Friday night feeling sorry for herself. Her girlfriends keep calling her, saying she should forget about him and come out and party with them. She gets all spiffied up and heads on out to the club, where she proceeds to dance the night away and "let a stranger pull me on the floor/Spin me 'round and let him buy a couple more." But she's not there for a hook up, "'cause tonight it's all about/Dancing with my girls to the DJ."
