Dancing With Myself
Dancing Solo: A Melodic Tale of Self-Discovery and Liberation
Lyrics
I'm having a good time
Expressing enjoyment
Can't you see?
Asking for acknowledgment of enjoyment
I'm all dressed up tonight
Dressed up for a social occasion
No shoes on my two left feet
Not skilled at dancing
Out on the dance floor
On the dance floor
Moving my feet
Engaged in dancing
Playing my favorite song
Enjoying a favorite song
And I'm moving to the beat
Dancing in rhythm to the music
But then I see you walking in
Notices someone entering the scene
And I can't believe you're here with him
Surprised to see the person with someone else
I can't even try to pretend I don't wanna be more than just friends
Desire for a deeper relationship than friendship
But if you knew just how much I cared
Feelings of care for the person
Well then you wouldn't be over there
Belief that if the person knew feelings, they'd not be elsewhere
And then I wouldn't be on the shelf
Feeling sidelined or overlooked
Just dancing with myself
Repeating the act of dancing alone as a result of unrequited feelings
Dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
-Play it cool now
-Nobody sees
-I'll get a glass of punch
-So my hands aren't so empty
-But then I see you walking in
-And I can't believe you're here with him
-I can't even try to pretend I don't wanna be more than just friends
-But if you knew just how much I cared
-Well then you wouldn't be over there
-And then I wouldn't be on the shelf
-Just dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
-I'm having fun
Asserting independence and enjoyment despite longing for someone
Don't need you
-Don't need no one
-I'm having fun
-I'm having fun
-Don't need you
-Don't need no one
-I'm having fun
Reiteration of dancing alone despite the desire for companionship
Dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
-Dancing with myself
