Silly Things

Silly things, like diamond rings

Fall between other things like you and I

We used to have, a coffee pot, we used it a lot

To sit around and talk about everything

We always want, but we'll never get

But a dreamer is still a dreamer until you wake them up

And sit them down and explain to them

The sky is up and the earth is down amoungst other things

Like human beings, they really aren't what they seem

They will lie cheat and steal to get ahead of you

And I'm afraid it's true

When the world comes crashing down, what are they to do?

I'm not blaming you, for being naive

But now just close your eyes and start dreaming (dreaming)

Dreaming (dreaming) about candle light

Forget about stupid fights

And it's funny to me

I can't remember a single thing that we fought about

Now that I'm alone, I guess that's how it goes

But I do remember every time that you kissed my neck

Ooh I love that the best

Won't be getting none of those

Now that you're in L.A. queen and away from me

(now that I'm in L.A. queen and away from you)

But darling, remember please

That people lie and cheat and steel to get ahead of you

I'm afraid it's true

When the world comes crashing down what are they to do

And I'm not blaming you for being naive

But now just close your eyes and start dreaming (dreaming)

Dreaming (dreaming)

Darling come get you coffee pot

Cause it hasn't been used

Since I last used you
