Lyrics
Lately when I'm in my room
All by myself
In this 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 so wise
Hey there
You on that high flyin' cloud
Though he won't throw a crumb to you
You think someday he'll come to you
Better forget him
Him with his nose in the air
He's got 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?
And out the other?
Hey there
You with the stars in your eyes (Are you talkin' to me?)
Love never made a fool of you (Not until now)
You used to be so wise (Oh, that was a long time ago)
Hey there (What?)
You on that high flyin' cloud
Though he won't throw a crumb to you
You think someday he's gonna come to you
Woah, better forget him (Forget him)
He's got his nose in the air (He's got his nose in the air)
He'll have you dancing on a string (A puppet on a string)
Break it and he won't care (He won't care for you)
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother?
Or are you not seein' things too clear
Are you just too far gone to hear?
Is it all goin' in one ear
And out the other?
