Dory Previn - I Dance And Dance And Smile And Smile [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm always loving someone

More than he loves me

Lord

I wish

Just this once

That's not how it would be

I always try too hard

When i find someone new

God

I wish

Just this once

You'd need me more

That i need you

I danced

To please my father

Just to win once glance

Some sign of his approval

I danced and danced

And danced and danced

I smiled

To make my mother

Proud i was her child

To gain some small attention

I smiled and smiled

And smiled and smiled

My books and bikes

I bartered to try

To buy a friend

Now i'm grown

This heart i own

Is the currency

I spend and spend

And spend

And

In the end

I'll give you

Everything i own

Sure

You'd never want me

For myself alone

How i hate the way i am

Always trying to impress

Lord

If i could love me more

I could love you less

And if i could

Love you less

I would not

Confuse you

Dancing

Dancing

Smiling

Smiling

Till

Of course

I lose you....
