Lyrics and translation
Original
So at my show on Monday I was hoping someday You'd be on your way to better things It's not about your makeup Or how you try to shape up To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
So now you pour your heart out You're telling me you're far out Not about to lie down for your cause But you don't pull my strings 'Cause I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
But uh oh,
I love her because She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show Just to hear about my day
And at my show on Tuesday She was in her mind, see Tempered furs and spangled boots Looks are deceiving Make me believe it And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey, yeah
So won't you go far Tell 'em you're a keeper Not about to lie down for your cause And you don't pull my strings 'Cause I'm a better man
Moving on to better things But uh oh, I love her because She moves in her own way But uh oh, she came to my show Just to hear about my day
Just how we wished I would ever make it
Through all the summers
You kept them all instead of kicking us Back down to the suburbs Just how we wished I would ever make it Through all the summers
You kept them all instead of kicking us Back down to the suburbs
But uh oh,
I love her because She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show Just to hear about my day
But uh oh,
I love her because She moves in her own way But uh oh, oh, she came to my show Just to hear about my day
