lyrics

I won't stand to be the victim of a cruel joke
while you hang around and dangle all your false hope
smile that smile
move that way you do
Take it on home
or show me something true

I won't take another puff of that pipe dream
Telling me things are all they seem
Let me down
it's all they seem to do
But you could still surprise me
and show me something true

So tonight
I'll dream myself to sleep
Even if it's all
skin deep

I won't stand to be the victim of a cruel joke
and you ain't gonna fix it if it ain't broke
No, I suppse
I suppose it works for you
And it's too much work
to show me something true

Still tonight
I'll dream myself to sleep
cause you could still surprise me
yeah, you could still surprise me
and show me something true
something true
something true
