I Dance And Dance And Smile And Smile Lyrics

i'm always loving someone

more than he loves me

lord

i wish

just this once

that's not how it would be



i always try too hard

when i find someone new

god

i wish

just this once

you'd need me more

that i need you



i danced

to please my father

just to win once glance

some sign of his approval

i danced and danced

and danced and danced

i smiled

to make my mother

proud i was her child

to gain some small attention

i smiled and smiled

and smiled and smiled

my books and bikes

i bartered to try

to buy a friend

now i'm grown

this heart i own

is the currency

i spend and spend

and spend

and

in the end

i'll give you

everything i own

sure

you'd never want me

for myself alone

how i hate the way i am

always trying to impress

lord

if i could love me more

i could love you less



and if i could

love you less

i would not

confuse you

dancing

dancing

smiling

smiling

till

of course

i lose you....
