When I woke up this afternoon
|
I knew I felt uneasy.
|
But no matter what I'd do
|
nothing seemed to please me.
|
I couldn't get out of my head
|
that little fight we had last night.
|
Though I would much rather be dead
|
than admit to myself
|
that you were right.
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
|
[chorus]
|
Don't be silly,
|
turn on Billie.
|
She's singing us to sleep
|
so we can dream our lives away.
|
And if we wake up in full makeup,
|
we'll paint the town blue
|
'cause baby, red is so passe.
|
|
Now don't look at me that way.
|
You know I just can't take it.
|
And no matter what they say
|
I know that we will make it.
|
Cause when we are good, we're grand
|
but when we're bad we are very bad.
|
But I stick around 'cause the love
|
that you're giving me is the best
|
I've ever had.
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
|
[repeat chorus]
|
|
And it's funny to me,
|
the way that things have worked out.
|
There's no doubt (in my mind)
|
that you can't recall
|
what this all was about.
|
So let's give it up.
|
|
Love me sweetly and completely
|
Come and sit beside me
|
'cause you know I need you near.
|
When you're wheelin'
|
with that feelin'
|
we'll paint the town pink
|
'cause baby, red is so last year.
|
|
[repeat chorus]
|
|
[scatting until the end of the song]
