I Dance And Dance And Smile And Smile

Lyrics

I'm always loving someone more than they love me Lord, I wish that just this once that's not how it would be I always try too hard when I find someone new God, I wish that just this once you'd need me more than I need you I danced to please my father, just to win one 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 win some small affection I smiled and smiled and smiled and smiled My books and bikes I bartered to try and buy a friend Now I've grown this heart I own is the currency I spend and spend and spend And in the end, I will give you everything I own Sure, you never want me for myself alone Oh how I hate the way I am, always trying to impress Lord, if I could love me more than I could love you less And if I could love you less I would not confuse you dancing dancing smiling smiling 'Til of course, I lose you
