Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Monday has come around again
I'm in the same old place
With the same old faces always watching me
Who knows how long I'll have to stay
Could be a hundred years of sweat and tears
At the rate that I get paid
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I slowly drift away
From all the dull routine
That's with my everyday
A fantasy will come to me
[Verse 3]
Diamonds are what I really need
Think I'll rob a store, escape the law
And live in Italy
Lately, my luck has been so bad
You know the roulette wheel's a crooked deal
I'm losing all I had
[Verse 4]
Soon be like a man that's on the run
And live from day to day
And never needing anyone
Play hide and seek
Throughout the week
[Verse 5]
My life is full of romance
[Verse 6]
Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
That's the way it's got to be
From now on
[Verse 7]
Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
No, it won't be really me
From now on
[Verse 8]
You think I'm crazy, I can see
It's you for you and me for me
Living in a fantasy
From now on
[Verse 9]
Guess I'll always have to be
(Guess I'll always have to be)
Living in a fantasy
(Living in a fantasy)
That's the way it's got to be
(That's the way it's got to be)
From now on
[Verse 10]
Guess I'll always have to be
(Guess I'll always have to be)
Living in a fantasy
(Living in a fantasy)
It's you for you and me for me
(It's you for you and me for me)
From now on
[Verse 11]
Guess I'll always have to be
(Guess I'll always have to be)
Living in a fantasy
(Living in a fantasy)
That's the way it's got to be
(That's the way it's got to be)
Oh, from now on
[Verse 12]
I guess I'll always have to be
(Guess I'll always have to be)
Living in a fantasy
(Living in a fantasy)
It's you for you and me for me
(It's you for you and me for me)
Oh, oh, from now on, on, on
[Verse 13]
Guess I'll always have to be
(Guess I'll always have to be)
Living in a fantasy
(Living in a fantasy)
That's the way it's got to be
(That's the way it's got to be)
