I'm sitting pretty, and I don't know why
|
I found somebody, said he'd make me fly
|
Wrapped me up in ribbons, then he left me to die
|
Wrapped me up in ribbons, then he left me to die
|
|
Told me he'd hold me till there was no more
|
Told me that he'd love me from the top to the floor
|
Wrapped me up in ribbons, then he went for the door
|
Wrapped me up in ribbons, then he went for the door
|
|
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
|
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
|
|
'Cause I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
|
I'm not flying, so damn high in the sky
|
I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
|
I'm not flying, am I?
|
|
You look so pretty in the dark of night
|
But I'm getting wise in the early light
|
I can see you falling like a homemade kite
|
I can see you falling like a homemade kite
|
|
You put your Sunday best on for us all
|
Painting up a promise that you know will fall
|
Wrap me in your ribbons, tie me to the wall
|
Wrap me in your ribbons, tie me to the wall
|
|
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
|
Yeah, all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
|
|
'Cause I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
|
I'm not flying, so damn high in the sky
|
I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
|
I'm not flying, am I?
|
|
You walk on everybody, you walk on everyone
|
You walk right up, and you ask me to dance
|
You ask me to dance
|
You ask me to dance, then you walk away
|
|
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
|
And all the time he takes are the words that he breaks
|
|
No, I'm not flying, am I?
|
I'm not flying, so damn high
|
Oh, I'm not flying, I'm not flying, am I?
|
I'm not flying
|
No, I'm not flying, am I?
|
I'm not flying, am I?
