"I'd Rather Dance By Myself" lyrics - JOSEPH WILLIAMS

Time goes on, I don't really care
I do fine with nobody there to comfort me tonight
Yes, I'm all right
Friends worry, how can it be
I have no one sheltering me? They think I am afraid
I disagree

'Cause it's better to dance by myself
Than to go round and round with just anyone
I'm not waiting for somebody else
To take me away
'Cause I'm finding the will to be strong
Waiting to see what's in front of me
And if love should come along
I'll do it again but until then
I'd rather dance by myself

I see lovers out in the street
Does that mean I'm not yet complete? Everywhere I go
It's almost as though I'm crying alone in the dark
'Til I'm part of somebody's heart
Don't shed a tear for me
I disagree

'Cause it's better to dance by myself
Than to go round and round with just anyone
I'm not waiting for somebody else
To take me away
'Cause I'm finding the will to be strong
Waiting to see what's in front of me
And if love should come along
I'll do it again but until then
I'd rather dance by myself

Too many times I choose partners to dance with
When I should sit out a few songs
I worry that destiny might keep me waiting too long
When all of the dancing is gone

Don't shed a tear for me
I disagree

'Cause it's better to dance by myself
Than to go round and round with just anyone
I'm not waiting for somebody else
To take me away
'Cause I'm finding the will to be strong
Waiting to see what's in front of me
And if love should come along
I'll do it again but until then
I'd rather dance by myself

I'd rather dance by myself
I'd rather dance by myself
