Lyrics
Well, I went to a dance the other night
Expressing attendance at a dance event
Everybody went stag
Noticing that everyone attended the dance without a partner
I said over and over and over again
Repeatedly expressing a pessimistic view about the dance being dull or uninteresting
This dance is gonna be a drag
-I said over and over and over again
-This dance is gonna be a drag
-I said over and over and over again
-This dance is gonna be a drag
-All at once it happened
Describing a sudden change or event
Well the prettiest in this world
Referring to someone exceptionally attractive
Please a-won't you come over and talk to me
Requesting the attractive person to come over and engage in conversation, expressing romantic interest
And be my girl
-I said won't you come over and talk to me
-And be my girl
-Please won't you come over and talk to me
-And be my girl
-She said that she was sorry
Apologizing for being late
That I was a little bit late
Indicating a willingness to wait despite the delay
She would wait and wait and wait and wait
Emphasizing the patience in waiting for a steady date
For her steady date
-She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
-For her steady date
-She would a-wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
-For her steady date
-Now, my poor heart was broken
Revealing emotional pain due to a broken heart
All of my life, where had she been
Expressing surprise or regret about not meeting the person earlier in life
But I'll try over and over and over
Committing to persistently try again in matters of the heart
And over again
-I'll try over and over
Reiterating the determination to keep trying in love
And over and over again
-I will try over and over
-And over and over again
-
