Today

Today you told me...
that you've already got a man
You said you were flattered...
but that you hoped I would understand
I've watched you and waited...
for the time I could approach you...
I'm now so frustrated...
that somebody else noticed you too!/

But another day
Another time
Maybe there is still a chance that you still
could be mine...
Don't blame me for dreaming baby...
It' the only thing that keeps me from goin crazy.../

Today you told me...
that I should've said something before
you said, you used to wonder
If I was ever going to say something more..
I can't come in between you and your man...
but it never looks like he's around...
If you and he ever start drifting apart...
You know where I live....I'll still be down../

Because another day
another time..
he'll break your heart
,then maybe you still could be mine...
Don't think bad of me for dreaming... baby...
It's the only thing that keeps me from goin crazy../

yes, another day
Another time
Maybe there is still a chance that you still
could be mine...
Don't blame me for dreaming baby...
It' the only thing that keeps me from goin crazy.../

Today
girl I'm just layin across my bed..
with one leg crossing the other,
imagining you  with him..
imagining you with another.../

Don't blame me for dreaming baby...
