All Dressed Up In Dreams Lyrics
I was happy
Which is not like me at all
For an hour
I was feeling ten feet tall
And I had myself a ball
I was heading for a fall
I got all dressed up in dreams
And I waited by the door
But you never even called
To tell me you don't love me anymore
You're so pretty
Everybody falls for you
In this city
It's the only thing to do
So I cried for 16 days
And I cried in 16 ways
I got all dressed up in dreams
And I waited by the door
But you never even called
To tell me you don't love me anymore
You said you'd arrive at 8
But you're 17 days late
I got all dressed up in dreams
And I waited by the door
But you never even called
To tell me you don't love me anymore
So I wander in the rain
As I slowly go insane
I got all dressed up in dreams
And I waited by the door
But you never even called
To tell me you don't love me anymore
Which is not like me at all
For an hour
I was feeling ten feet tall
And I had myself a ball
I was heading for a fall
And I waited by the door
But you never even called
To tell me you don't love me anymore
Everybody falls for you
In this city
It's the only thing to do
So I cried for 16 days
And I cried in 16 ways
And I waited by the door
But you never even called
To tell me you don't love me anymore
But you're 17 days late
And I waited by the door
But you never even called
To tell me you don't love me anymore
As I slowly go insane
And I waited by the door
But you never even called
To tell me you don't love me anymore
