Well it started out just like a dream
And like a dream I knew that what we had,
Would have to end
Cuz I was lookin’ for a,
Lifetime lover and,
You were lookin’ for a friend
Someone to be there
After all your night time lovers had gone,
The way they came
Someone who knew the way
And helped to play your daytime game
It’s not the same

Well I started out pretending that I’d,
Come to mean enough to you to make,
You want to change
Then I came to realize that
There was just too much of you you’d have,
To rearrange
And I couldn’t bear to wait around
For all your night time lovers to go,
The way they came
And it came to hurt too much for me
To have to play your daytime games
No one’s to blame

Well it started out just like a dream
And like a dream I knew that what we had,
Would have to end
Cuz I was lookin’ for a,
Lifetime lover and,
You were lookin’ for a friend
I was lookin’ for a,
Lifetime lover and,
You were lookin’ for a friend
