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 some day
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
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 some day
he's gonna come to you
Wo better forget him
He's got his nose in the air
They'll have 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 just too far gone
to hear
Is it all goin' in one ear
and out the other
