"Love makes of the wisest man a fool, and of the most foolish woman a sage." - Moritz G. Saphir (1801-1866)
Wake up, wake up!
I never made my understanding a triumph over you
I never did, I'll never do
All these things you're blaming me of
I bet you knew that real life was hiding from you
And you seemed to understand when I said
It's all coming back to haunt
All this crazy stuff made up about me
Made up about me
You spin around, walk and fall down,
Get back on your feet
That's what life's about
It seemed you never got it right
As you tried to get up before I struck you down
But there were times that I recall
You've forgotten them maybe
I don't think of them either daily
Yeah we were sweet and sour, baby
You hot and steamy lady
Look me straight in the eye
Tell me you didn't feel like I did
Baby you waited just a second too long
That's why I'm answering you with this song
Dream on, my dear
You catch my drift, my dear
Strange dreams I'm falling in and out of for years
I never thought they were real
But now I know better
Because you were the nightmare that happened to me
Dream on, my dear
But there were times that I recall
You've forgotten them maybe
I don't think of them either daily
Yeah we were sweet and sour, baby
You hot and steamy lady
Look me straight in the eye
Tell me you didn't feel like I did
Baby you waited just a second too long
That's why I'm messing you up with this song
