Silly Things

(album: Pillow Talk - 2011)

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 amongst 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 you kissed my neck
Ooh I love that the best
Won't be getting none of those
Now that you're an LA queen and away from me
Now that I'm an LA queen and away from you

But, darling, remember please
That people lie and cheat and steal 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 your coffee pot
Because it hasn't been used
Since I last used you
