Opening

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
