[words in brackets are SPOKEN]
Lately when I´m in my room all by myself
In the solitary gloom I call to myself
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high-flyin´ cloud
Though he won´t throw a crumb to you, you think some day he´ll
come to you
Better forget him, him with his nose in the air
He has you dancin´ on a string, break it and he won´t care
Won´t you take this advice I hand you like a mother
Or are you not seein´ things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all goin´ in one ear and out the other
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes [Are you talking to me?]
Love never made a fool of you [Not until now]
You used to be too wise [Yes, I was once]
Will you take this advice I hand you like a mother
Or am I not seein´ things too clear
Are you just too far gone to hear
Is it all goin´ in one ear and out the other
