Dory Previn - I Dance And Dance And Smile And Smile lyrics

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....
