When I woke up this afternoon

I know I felt uneasy

But no matter what I do

Nothing seemed to please me

I couldn't get out of my head

That little fight we had last night

But I would much rather be dead

Than admit to myself that you were right

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh...

Don't be silly

Turn On Billie

She's singing us to sleep

So we can dream our lives away

And if we wake up

In full make-up

We'll pant the town blue

Cause baby, red is so passe

Now don't look at me that way

You know I just can't take it

And no matter what they say

I know that we will make it

Cause when we are good we are grand

But when we're bad we are very bad (so bad)

But it has to go round

Cause the love that you are giving me is the best

I have ever had

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh...

Don't be silly

Turn on Billie

She's singing us to sleep

So we can dream our lives away

And if we wake up

In full make-up

We'll pant the town blue

Cause baby, red is so passe

And it's funny to me

The way that things have worked out

There's no doubt in my mind

That you can't recall what this song was about

So let's give it up

Love me sweetly and completely

Come and sit beside me

Cause you know I need you near

When you're reeling with that feeling

We'll paint the town pink cause red is so last year

Don't be silly

Turn on Billie

She's singing us to sleep

So we can dream our lives away

And if we wake up

In full make-up

We'll pant the town blue

Cause baby, red is so passe
