Lately when I'm in my room all by myself In the 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 too wise Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud Though he won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day he'll come to you
Better forget him, him with his nose in the air He has 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
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes [Are you talking to me?] Love never made a fool of you [Not until now] You used to be too wise [Yes, I was once]
Will you take this advice I hand you like a mother Or am I not seein' things too clear Are you just too far gone to hear Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other
