Longing in the Dance: Yearning for Home in Barry Manilow's Melody
Lyrics
Everybody's here spinin the bottle
Everyone is participating in a game of spin the bottle.
Everybody dance,dance,dance
Everyone is engaged in dancing.
And you walk in with your new friend
You enter the scene with a new companion.
Well my friend, have I lost again
The speaker expresses feelings of loss or defeat.
Cause I know pretty baby

You oughta be home with me

Acknowledging the attractiveness of the romantic interest.

Well you can love the one you're with
Suggesting that being with the current partner is acceptable.
But you can love the one you oughta be with
