[Intro]
Lately when I'm in my room
All by myself
In this solitary gloom
I call to myself

[Verse 1]
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 someday he'll come to you

[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 1]
Hey there
You with the stars in your eyes (Are you talkin' to me?)
Love never made a fool of you (Not until now)
You used to be so wise (Oh, that was a long time ago)
Hey there (What?)
You on that high flyin' cloud
Though he won't throw a crumb to you
You think someday he's gonna come to you

[Verse 2]
Woah, better forget him (Forget him)
He's got his nose in the air (He's got his nose in the air)
He'll have you dancing on a string (A puppet on a string)
Break it and he won't care (He won't care for you)
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?
