Hello
How are you?
How’d you sleep last night?
Did you dream of me all night?
How are you?

Wake up
Good morning
You shouldn’t sleep all day
Such a beautiful day
How are you?
Good morning
What’s with you?
How could you?

I heard your voice
I couldn’t stand it
You know you talk too much
You even scare my friends
What’s with you?

The world you said
I know you’re lying
You lie in bed
You lie, you lie
You lie there crying
What’s with you?
How could you?
Why did you?

Hey, hey
I said it’s alright
Come on, come on
I’ve been working all night
Hey, hey
I said it’s okay
Come on, come on
I’ve been working all day
Working all day, hey!

Hello
How are you?
I couldn’t sleep last night
I dreamed of you all night
Good morning

Get up
I know you’re lying
You lie in bed
You lie, you lie
You lie there crying
What’s with you?
How could you?
Why did you?

Hey, hey
I said it’s alright
Come on, come on
I’ve been working all night
Hey, hey
I said it’s okay
Come on, come on
I’ve been working all day
Working all day, hey!

Hello
How are you?
I dreamed of you last night
Hello
How are you?
I dreamed of you all night

I said I want you
I want you, need you, love you
Want you to want me
Remember?

Hello
How are you?
How’d you sleep last night?
Did you dream of me all night?
Good morning
How are you?
How are you?

Hey, hey
I said it’s alright
Come on, come on
I’ve been working all night
Hey, hey
I said it’s okay
Come on, come on
I’ve been working all day
Working all day, hey!

Hey, hey
I said it’s alright
Come on, come on
I’ve been working all night
Hey, hey
I said it’s okay
Come on, come on
I’ve been working all day
Working all day, hey!
