Lyrics
Those who dance and romance while they dance
Observing people who are engaged in dancing and romantic activities
They seem so happy and gay
They appear joyful and carefree
Though they sing and they swing as they sway
Even though they sing and move rhythmically while swaying
Somehow I can't feel that way
The narrator is unable to experience the same happiness
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Expressing the emotional pain of dancing while feeling sadness
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Feeling sorrow because the person being danced with is not the one desired
Dancing with somebody new
Dancing with a new partner
When it's you that my heart's calling to
Despite being with someone new, the heart yearns for the desired person
Trying to smile once in a while
Attempting to smile occasionally
But I find it so hard to do
Struggling to find happiness due to the emotional pain
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Continuing to dance while experiencing emotional distress
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Reiterating the sorrow of being with the wrong person
While the throng's in the spell of a song
Despite the surrounding atmosphere of enjoyment and music
My thoughts keep drifting to you
The mind keeps wandering back to the desired person
While each pair seems to share their affair
Other couples' happiness intensifies the narrator's sadness
They're making me blue
Feeling downcast due to witnessing others' love
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Continuing to dance while feeling tears and sorrow
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Being with someone else, but longing for the desired person
Dancing with somebody new
Engaging in dance with a different partner
When it's you that my heart's calling to
The heart's desire remains fixed on the desired individual
Trying to smile once in a while
Trying to display happiness occasionally despite the pain
But I find it so hard to do
Finding it challenging to genuinely smile due to inner turmoil
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Expressing the ongoing sorrow of dancing while feeling tears
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Reiterating the sadness of being with the wrong person
