Imagine My Frustration
Dancing in Solitude: Ella's Frustration Unveiled
Lyrics
I went down to the dance
I attended a dance event
Such a clown by the wall
I felt like a fool standing against the wall
Invited to dance
I was asked to dance
By no one at all
But no one invited me
The couples danced fine
Other couples danced gracefully
So charming and gay
They looked happy and carefree
But nobody wants
No one is interested in looking at me
To look over my way
Ignored by everyone
So awfully sad
Feeling extremely sad
Dissatisfied
Not content or pleased
I hurt so bad
Experiencing intense emotional pain
I almost cried
Nearly cried due to the hurt
Imagine my frustration with no
Expressing frustration at not receiving an
Invitation to dance
invitation to dance
Head high, standing tall
Standing confidently with pride
Who else, who else could I be?
Asserting identity as Ella Fitzgerald
But Ella next to the wall
Wondering if someone appreciates
A fella who likes what they see?
If others are attracted to what they see
And then in my ear
Someone whispered to me
Someone said to me
Being referred to as a wallflower
Wallflower, my dear
Questioning why I'm not noticed
How come you can't see
Others don't see my worth
They couldn't care less?
They don't care about me
They're not impressed
Not impressed by my presence
As you might have guessed
As expected by me
You're in excess
Being perceived as excessive
Imagine my frustration with no
Expressing frustration at not receiving an
Invitation to dance
invitation to dance
I smiled to the crowd
Smiling at the audience
Tip toe and alert
Moving cautiously and attentively
Yes, the band blues went loud
The band playing the blues loudly
But next on a flirt
Expecting the next person to show interest
A voice said to me
Another voice whispered to me
Wallflower, my dear
Reiterated the wallflower reference
You're sweet as can be
Acknowledging sweetness but questioning
But how come you're here
Curious about my presence at the event
They couldn't care less
Others remain indifferent
About your dress
Not concerned about my appearance
You're in a mess
Feeling messy or disorganized
And in excess
Perceived as excessive once again
Imagine my frustration with no
Expressing frustration at not receiving an
Invitation to dance
invitation to dance
