Dancing In The Dirt

Why don't you love me? (Why don't you love me?)

I'm kinda lonely (I'm kinda lonely)

You showed me love the way you felt it

But I was unaffected

Gon' pack up my clothes (clothes)

Leave for the night (night)

Say what you want (want)

Flames on the fire

You never showed me you can love somebody else like yourself

I was hoping you would hold me close

Now these days are gone, I'm on my own

You don't know you're dancin' in the dirt

I, I see, I, I see

I was hoping you would hold me close

Now these days are gone, I'm on my own

You don't know you're dancin' in the dirt

I, I see, I, I see

Remember you told me (remember you told me)

We're building a home for forty-two

You never felt, you just pretended

Like I'd be unaffected

Just like the moon (moon)

We turned the tide (tide)

For a moment or two (two)

We might survive

You never showed me you can love somebody better than yourself

I was hoping you would hold me close

Now these days are gone, I'm on my own

You don't know you're dancin' in the dirt

I, I see, I, I see

I was hoping you would hold me close

Now these days are gone, I'm on my own

You don't know you're dancin' in the dirt

I, I see, I, I see

And I didn't know it

Been afraid to show it

Touch a mirror, hold me close

I was hoping you would hold me close

Now these days are gone and I'm on my own

You don't know you're dancin' in the dirt

I, I see, I, I see

I was hoping you would hold me close

Now these days are gone, I'm on my own

You don't know you're dancin' in the dirt

I, I see, I, I see
