When  I woke  up this  afternoon
 I know I  felt
  un-ea-sy
 But no  matter what  I do
 Nothing  seemed  to please  me
 I couldn't  get out  of my  head
 That little  fight  we had…  last night
 But I would  much rather be  dead
 Than admit to  myself… that you were  right
Oh… Oh...  Oh…  Ohhh
 Don't  be silly
 Turn  On Billie
 She's  singing us to sleep
 So  we can dream our  lives away
 And  if we wake up
 In  full make-up
 We'll  paint the town in blue
 Cause baby, red  is so passé
 Now don't  look at  me that  way
 You know I just can't… take it
 And no  matter what  they say
 I know that we will…. Make it
 Cause when  we are  good we  are grand
 But when we're bad… we are.. very bad (so bad)
 But I stick  around cause the love  that you are  giving me is the best
 I have  ever had
Oh… Oh...  Oh…  Ohhh
 Don't  be silly
 Turn  On Billie
 She's  singing us to sleep
 So  we can dream our  lives away
 And  if we wake up
 In  full make-up
 We'll  paint the town in blue
 Cause baby, red  is so passé
 And it's funny, to me
 The way that things have worked out
 There's no doubt in my mind
 That you can't recall what this song was about
 So let's give it up…
