Split Enz - Sweet Dreams Lyrics
Cunning as a con-man, shrewd as a liarI went weak in the knees, the first time I saw youDeep inside, day to day ritualOh give it a tryDo what you will, look out now!But I've seen it all beforeIt's nothing new to meA living legend, like 15 million other, angelsTry as I do, I can never get throughI only got as far, as the back seat of my carIt's all very well to cry nowYes it's all very well to lie nowNow I'm wasting my time, clutching at straws (yeah)You know damn well, what's mine is yoursRich man or poor, duchess or whoreI haven't got time for, either orI can't get over itThank God the storms passed overI'll settle down I guessSweet dreams every once in a whileSweet dreams every once in a whileMatovani, Martini and moneyI fell for your etiquetteThe first time we ever metYou really socked it to meWith your finger snap rhythymLook out now, break-upYou've got it all figured outTen to one I loseDrop your lovers noose and swing meCruelly deprived, I don't know how you've survivedRomantic theories of the pixies and fairiesLooking in retrospect seldom wrong but never correctEmotions are aired like carpets out to dryI can't get over itThank God the storms passed overI'll settle down I guessSweet dreams every once in a whileSweet dreams every once in a whileSweet dreams, sweet dreams, sweet dreams every once in a whileWell you wouldn't know me from a bar of soapA part of the furniture, an ornament, a rocking chairIt's all very well to cry nowSweet dreams every once in a while
