Tears
Michael Angelo & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you,
Dancing with somebody new
When it's you that my hearts calling to

Trying to smile, once in a while,
But I find it so hard to do.
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes,
'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you

Line by Line Meaning

For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
I am crying while dancing


'Cause the girl in my arms isn't you
I am holding someone else, but I wish it was you


Dancing with somebody new
I am dancing with someone I just met


When it's you that my heart's calling to
My heart is calling out for you, not this new person


Trying to smile, once in a while,
I am attempting to fake a smile


But I find it so hard to do.
However, it is difficult for me to maintain it
