Dancin' By Myself

(album: Life Beyond L.A. - 1978)

Whatever it is you need, better take what you can to feed it
In a world of hunger and greed lives a heart thats truly bleeding
Now the question of me and you is just remaining a mystery
I guess it just goes to prove that you never really did love me

So you might just ask your mama
If that's the way it should be
Well, you might just ask your conscience
If I left you or you left me

Well, you say that you want somebody
Who's gonna treat you like a queen
When you don't even have the time of day
For the things that mean a lot to me
I hoped that we'd piece it together
And put an end to the misery
But these things take forever,
And it never did occur to me

That you might go home to mama
And that's the way it'd be
Well, you might just ask your conscience
If I left you where you left me

You left me dancing by myself
Dancing by myself
And I can't find no one else
Can't find no one else
You left me dancing by myself
Dancing by myself
And I don't want no one else
Yeah, dancing, dancing

So you might just ask your mama
If that's the way it should be
You might just ask your conscience
If I left you where you left me

You left me dancing by myself
Dancing by myself
And I can't find no one else
Can't find no one else
You left me dancing by myself
Dancing by myself
And I don't want no one else
Dancing, and I can't find no one, can't find no one else
