It's never been the same since you returned from dreamin'
|
With your nursery rhyme excuses and your picture postcards gleamin'
|
Tellin' everyone who looks your way 'bout people and their sinnin'
|
While your left field verse is fallin' in proportion to your winnin'
|
|
And I can't be your hero today
|
I'm through with the simple games you play
|
It just might take some time to even up the score
|
But I can't be your soldier home from war
|
|
And there you sit shining that there's still hope for us
|
While nature holds the handcuffs on a Capricorn and Taurus
|
There's nothing you can do or say to get me to your camp
|
Go fill up all your savings books and buy yourself a lamp
|
|
And I can't be your hero today
|
Your wholesale price is much too high to pay
|
Bargain basement atmosphere is no way to sell love
|
And I can't be your superman above
|
|
No I can't be your hero today
|
That is all I really want to say
|
Go find a leading man who wants to play
|
But I can't be your hero today
|
