Won't Somebody Dance with Me
Yearning in Silence: A Lonely Wallflower's Plea for Dance and Romance
Lyrics
And now the band is playing very slow
Setting the scene with a slow-playing band.
And once again, I'll get my coat and go
Expressing a recurring decision to leave.
A lonely wallflower waiting by the wall
Describing the singer as a lonely observer.
Without the will power to face the music at all
Lacking the courage to engage with the music or others.
Please, won't somebody dance with me
Pleading for a dance partner and romantic connection.
Start up a romance with me
Desiring a romantic involvement through dancing.
Just someone to care
Yearning for someone to care about the singer.
Someone, somewhere for a dance with me
Expressing the need for a dance partner.
I feel so silly in my patent shoes
Feeling awkward in distinctive shoes.
So many partners but none of them will choose
Not being chosen by potential dance partners.
A lonely wallflower, growing very tired
Reiterating the loneliness of the singer.
Into the small hours and feeling undesired
Continuing into the late hours, feeling unwanted.
Please, won't somebody dance with me
Repeating the plea for a dance partner and romance.
Start up a romance with me
Desiring a romantic connection through dancing.
Just someone, somewhere
Expressing the need for someone, somewhere.
Someone who dares, take a chance with me
Seeking someone who dares to take a chance.
for a dance with me
Repeating the plea for a dance partner.
Won't somebody dance with me
Reiterating the request for a dance partner.
Start up a romance with me
Desiring a romantic involvement through dancing.
Just someone, somewhere
Expressing the need for someone, somewhere.
Someone who dares, take a chance with me
Seeking someone who dares to take a chance.
Just someone to care
Reiterating the desire for someone to care.
Someone, somewhere for a dance with me
Expressing the need for a dance partner.
May I have the pleasure of this dance?
Ending with a polite request for a dance.
