I Should Have Been Dancing
Lyrics by Fran Landesman
I wasted my whole life
Messing up yours
When I should have been dancing
I was slamming the doors
I sulked in the spotlight
Wearing a frown
When I should have been dancing
I was putting you down
We could have been sensational
A couple of luminous stars
Could have been inspirational
When all the tomorrows were ours
I gave you a hard time
Fighting our wars
When I should have been dancing
I was settling scores
When I should have been making sense of my life
I was busy messing up yours
